Preparing for Communion Sunday
AM Srv.: How to Raise Children in the Lord (Part 2) (Eph 6:1-3)
Description: Last week we established the goal of parenting. This week we will look to Ephesians 6:1-3 and see how parenting should be authority shaped. Loving authority creates an environment where wisdom can be taught and instilled into the hearts of our children. Without biblical authority, there is little space for wisdom to thrive and much room for foolishness to flourish.
Additional References: Prov 1:1-3; Col 3:18; Rom 1:30; Is 3:4; Mk 13:12; Mic 7:6; Prov 13:1; Ps 51:5; 58:3; Prov 22:15; Matt 5:22; Prov 29:11; 18:6; 15:2; 12:15, 16; 14:6
Scripture Reading: Ps 78:1-16
Kids’ Questions:
1. Why does the Bible command children to obey their parents in the Lord? How are you obeying God by obeying your parents?
2. Why is parental authority an expression of love?
3. Read or recite Psalm 23 and point out all the expressions of loving authority? What would love look like without the authority to protect or provide?
