Parents, Train Your Children to Please the Lord

By Richard Smith

1-19-25

NOTICE: The emphasis of our discussion is to see how the Written Word (Bible) and the Spoken Word (Preaching) work together to build up the believer, so when you see WORD in the questions, know it refers to the Scripture and the Sermon.

 

Recap: Look back for evidence of God’s word reshaping your heart and life.

  1. Does anyone have a testimony to share of ways you were able to apply any of the six lessons from last week?

EngageLook into the Word of God in light of Sunday’s preached sermon.

  1. Read Colossians 3:20 and discuss what surprised you or stood out about the text and/or sermon.

 

Reflect: Look deeper at the preached and written Word.

  1. How does the concept of ‘obeying in everything’ challenge our modern parenting approaches, and what are the potential benefits and drawbacks of this biblical instruction?

 

  1. How can we reconcile the seemingly harsh consequences for disobedience in the Old Testament (like the Numbers 15 account of the sticks on Sunday) with the message of grace and forgiveness in the New Testament?

 

Respond: Look ahead and around to see how you can be obedient and missional.

  1. In what ways can parents effectively transfer the concept of pleasing God to their children, especially in a world that often promotes self-fulfillment over obedience?

 

  1. What strategies can parents employ to maintain consistency in discipline and instruction, even when faced with weariness or self-doubt?

 

 

  1. In what ways can parents model and teach the ‘peace that comes through surrender to God’s training and discipline’ as mentioned in Hebrews 12:5-11?
