God's Pattern For Training Children | Dr. Stephen Conley
from Raintree Community Church
Texts: Eph. 6:1-4; Deut. 6:4-9; Prov. 22:6; Ps. 78:1-8 Gospel-Shaped Parenting Establishes Godly Authority (Eph. 6:1-3) God calls parents to require obedience from their children. God calls children to give honor to their parents. We must lovingly call our children to recognize our God-given authority and require them to obey God's Word. Gospel-Shaped Parenting Prioritizes God-centered Instruction (Eph. 6:4; Deut. 6:4-9; Prov. 22:6) God calls parents to bring up our children in the instruction of the Lord. This calls for a Godward discipleship that is both time intensive and labor intensive. Gospel-Shaped Parenting Impacts Future Generations (Ps. 78:1-8) We are called to declare what God has done to the next generation, so they do not lose sight of who God is. The goal is to see the generation find their hope in God and obey His Word. Main Idea: ""God calls parents teach children His truth, show them His character, and anchor their hope in Him."
