From the Heart of Brother Jesse – Tuesday, April 1, 2025 – The Home Is Our First Ministry

Dear Friends in Christ,

As we continue to reflect on the sacredness of family, I want to share a truth that the Lord has laid upon my heart time and again: The home is our first ministry. Before the pulpit, before the mission field, before the workplace—our greatest responsibility begins with those whom God has placed closest to us.

In Deuteronomy 6:6–7, we are commanded, “And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children…” Faith was never meant to be taught only within the walls of the church. It is to be lived out daily in the home—in the way we speak, the way we love, the way we forgive, and the way we lead.

Too often, our homes become places of hurried schedules and divided attention. But the Lord calls us to something greater: to create a space where His Word is central, where prayer is frequent, and where love abides without condition.

If you are a parent, teach your children the things of God not only through instruction but by example. If you are a child, honor those who have nurtured and guided you. And if you live alone, know that your prayers for your family and your faithfulness to God are powerful testimonies.

Let us renew our commitment to treat our homes not merely as places of residence, but as sanctuaries where the Spirit of the Lord is welcome.

In the peace of Christ,
Brother Jesse
