This sermon concludes the "Built to Last" series by exploring storge love—the familial love we have for family members we didn't choose. Pastor emphasizes that healthy family relationships require intentionality, biblical foundations, and Christ-centered expectations. Drawing from Mary's relationship with Jesus, the message illustrates how to love family members through their journeys while maintaining appropriate boundaries. The sermon contrasts healthy storge love (which encourages, respects boundaries, and gives freely) with unhealthy possessiveness (which manipulates through guilt and demands constant access). Ultimately, Christians are called to love their families the way Christ loved us—unconditionally, prayerfully, and with a foundation built on God's Word rather than personal expectations.
