Parenting 5 - Playing the Long Game
from Games on SermonAudio Hosted by Nathan Francis
This sermon argues that the ultimate goal of parenting is not merely behavioral modification or obedience, but the making of disciples, a task that requires a long-term perspective rather than short-sighted control. The speaker emphasizes that parents must shift from exerting authority to exercising influence, allowing children to develop the spiritual maturity to own their faith. By identifying the root of many parenting struggles as a worship issue, the message calls for a heart-level transformation that aligns with the Great Commission. Parents are encouraged to find confidence in the Holy Spirit's work rather than their own efforts, recognizing that they are partners in a divine process that extends beyond their immediate presence. The sermon concludes with the assurance that Christ is always with believers, offering strength and hope to persevere in the lifelong journey of raising godly children. Outline: 1) What's the Goal? Make Disciples 2) Where is Your Confidence? Christ 3) Are you Alone? Christ is Always with You
