Sunday Service: December 28th
December 28 Spiritual Parenting - Deuteronomy 6:1-25
It is clear from Scripture that Christian parents are to raise their children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4). What does that look like for Christian families to disciple their kids? How can a church come around families in raising children to become lifelong followers of Jesus? What about those of us who have grown kids or have never had kids? As we’ll see, it takes a whole church to raise Christians as lifelong followers of Jesus.
We will return to our Luke Series on January 18th
