The Church Series - Parents Pastor

from Trailview Church · host trailview.church

Deuteronomy 6:1-9What is the aim of your parenting?  Are you trying to raise productive citizens and successful adults?  Are you trying to give them a better life than you had? Are you training them to be excellent in a particular skill?  Our world is telling parents that to be a good parent, you have to do a thousand things, and if you do them all perfectly, your kids will turn out great.  But is that God’s purpose for parenting?  At Trailview, we believe parents are pastors, which means your primary job is to pass on your faith to your kids.  This means we teach them who God is, their need for the Gospel, and how to follow Jesus.  This takes precedence over all things and permeates everything.  This leaves only two questions: 1. Is my purpose in parenting aligned with God’s purpose? And 2. What needs to change in how I parent my kids?
