The Family Business is a powerful sermon that challenges church leaders and congregations to stop playing church and start producing fruit. In The Family Business, we are reminded that Jesus wasn’t simply attending the temple—He was about His Father’s business. That same mandate falls on the church today. If we’re not about the business of birthing the will of God in our cities, our churches, and our homes, then we’ve missed the point. The Family Business calls believers to return to productivity, purity, and purpose. It brings to light the prophetic power of praise and its essential connection to the miraculous.

The Family Business is not about brand, popularity, or personality. It’s about fulfilling a divine legacy that God initiated in the house of Judah—a legacy that pointed to the Messiah and demanded fruitfulness from the family of praise. In the same way, the modern church is called to produce spiritual sons and daughters. It’s not enough to enjoy the thrill of church. God is looking for people who will take responsibility for His Kingdom—people who will carry the seed of revival, not just shout about it.

This sermon unpacks the dramatic moment in Genesis 38 when Judah’s destiny collided with Tamar’s desperation. While Judah came for pleasure, Tamar showed up for prophecy. She wasn’t just looking for a moment—she was pressing for generational fulfillment. Her boldness stirs a convicting question: why do we show up? Are we in the church for convenience, or are we committed to The Family Business?

The message draws a clear line between intimacy without fruit and real Kingdom productivity. It warns against the spirit of Onan—those who enjoy access to the bride (the church) but refuse to invest in her future. Churches filled with spectators and performers will never birth what God intends. But churches that understand The Family Business—those who carry praise with purpose—will see miracle after miracle unfold.

This is a Word for churches that feel stuck. It’s for pastors wondering why growth has plateaued. It’s for worship leaders, prayer warriors, and preachers who know there has to be more than good services and feel-good moments. If you’re hungry to shift from performance to power, from hype to harvest, this message is for you.

With illustrations from the lives of Judah, Tamar, Mary, Elizabeth, and others, this sermon paints a vivid picture of how God conceives destiny in the womb of worship. When the people of God return to a place of sincere praise, clean motives, and Kingdom-minded action, the miraculous is conceived. Revival isn’t born in noise—it’s born in surrender. And when the church gets back to The Family Business, birth happens.

This is the sermon you preach when your church needs to wake up. When they’ve praised long enough but haven’t produced. When they’ve shouted but haven’t sown. This is the Word that reminds them—it’s not about how good the service feels, it’s about what’s born because of it.

Use The Family Business to call your church back to responsibility. Call them to legacy. Call them to labor. Because what’s coming out of your church won’t just change a Sunday—it’ll change a generation.
