God's Wisdom in the Family Design #5 Faithful Parenting with Bible Scholar Ken Styles

A @Christadelphians Video: **Actual, provable Bible Truth** – Discover the profound design God has woven into the family in this thought-provoking and expositional presentation by Bible Scholar Ken Styles. This is the fifth instalment in the outstanding series, *God's Wisdom in the Family Design*, and it delivers a wonderfully insightful look into faithful parenting.We explore how the commandment to "honour thy father and mother" is not just a rule for children but a mirror for parents, revealing how we must live to be worthy of that honour. Ken reveals that parenting is not about forceful control but about faith-filled discipleship, where our primary responsibility is to teach our children the principles of God's Word. He provides a wonderful and practical guide, blending biblical exposition with heartfelt encouragement for every stage of the parenting journey.From the inspiring example of Jacob’s enduring faith to the incredible generational faithfulness of Jonadab, this talk reveals how a "kingdom-heading family" is built through a massive educational program and a foundation of genuine love. Ken also covers the delicate balance of discipline, showing how it must be administered as a tool of salvation, not anger. This is an essential watch for parents, grandparents, and all who desire to see their families aimed in the right direction.**Timestamps:**00:00 - Introduction & The Commandment to Honour08:14 - The Parent's Role as God's Ambassador15:52 - The Crucial Link: How Parents Must Model Godly Honour18:26 - Parenting by Faith, Not by Invention22:46 - Practical Ideas: Making the Bible Come Alive28:39 - The Foundation of Love for Effective Discipline34:09 - The Rod of Correction: A Tool of Salvation40:57 - Examples of Faithful Parenting: Jacob43:53 - Examples of Faithful Parenting: Mordecai46:39 - Examples of Faithful Parenting: Jonadab53:22 - Examples of Faithful Parenting: Abraham59:41 - Conclusion: Make Yours a Kingdom-Heading Family**Bible Verse Categories:**📖 *Galatians 5:6* (Faith that works by love)📖 *Deuteronomy 6* (The educational program for families)📖 *Ephesians 6:4 & Colossians 3:21* (Provoking and discouraging children)📖 *Hebrews 12* (God's discipline for our good)📖 *Psalm 78:6* (Teaching the next generation)📖 *Jeremiah 35* (The stand of Jonadab)📖 *Genesis 18:19* (Abraham's faithful command)📖 *Genesis 22* (The faith of Isaac)**Tags:**Bible Study, Christadelphian, Faithful Parenting, God's Wisdom, Family Design, Ken Styles, Bible Scholar, Faith, Scripture, Discipleship, Family, Christian Parenting, Biblical Principles, Honour Your Parents, Kingdom, SalvationWe are a Christadelphian team, Brothers and sisters of Christ, and we're passionate about delivering powerful, Scripture-based content to strengthen and inspire your faith journey.
