Episode 152 - "Are You Beaming Right Now?"

Rejoice When Your Children Follow the LordCompleting our parenting series the week of Mother's Day, it seems appropriate to acknowledge all of the work godly moms devote to training their kids! And isn't it fitting to spend this episode talking about the honor kids give to parents — and the honor parents give to kids? So this week, we close Training Wheels by looking forward to the "one shining moment" when our Lord becomes our child's Lord. Like Paul, we want to say, "what is our hope or joy or crown of boasting before our Lord Jesus at his coming? Is it not you?" (1 Thess. 2:19). Along the way, we discuss our best Father's Day presents, how our relationships change as kids get older, and why Jesus calls obedient believers his "brother and sister and mother" (Matt. 12:50). We define and apply a Heavy Word, learning that "honor" is about giving weight and worth. And we close the series with a prayer for our kids to have a "heart of wisdom" (Prov. 10:1). We plan to take a brief hiatus after this episode, but we pray that this series blesses your parenting, and we look forward to the next guided study.The Big Idea: What a gift it is to call your child a "brother" or "sister" in Christ.This Week's Challenge: Give encouragement to a young person who has honored their parents by their faithfulness.Show NotesTraining Wheels Study Guide - Session 13 (Color PDF)Training Wheels Study Guide - Session 13 (B&W PDF)"The Greatest Gift" (DAILY DOWNLOAD)Jesus Said ...
