from Grace Hope Weekends Hosted by Grace Hope Church
Why Church: Why Dedication? Pastor Matt Haflett 1 Samuel 1:27-18, Luke 2:22 1. We Are Not Commanded to Dedicate · A child’s dedication to God is not the same as baptism. It is a declaration that we will live in accordance with the Bible and raise the child the same way. · As a church, we make a pledge to walk alongside and help the parents in any way that we can. · The “shema” – to hear (Deuteronomy 6:4-9) · God will put these words on our hearts (Jer. 31:33, Ez. 36:26-27 2. You Are Qualified! · We are all qualified to teach children of Jesus and who he is, but it needs to be intentional. · Our children need Jesus more than just Sunday, that leaves 111 hours for the enemy to work every week. · “…when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise.” (V.7) 3. How Do We Teach Our Children? · Share what God has done in your life. · Teach them about Gods faithfulness. · Speak to them with a genuine heart, and they will see it (Col. 3:21)
