Ephesians 6:1-4
Big Idea: A Gospel-Centered Family Is Built On The Grace Of God, By The Truth Of God And Through The Strength Of God.
In a Gospel centered family:
1) Parents model Christ (v. 1)
2) Children obey like Christ (v.1-3)
3 things children must understand about obeying and honoring their parents:
a) It is a big deal
b) It is out of love
c) It is for your best
3) Parents teach Christ (v. 4)
How I disciple my children:
a) I target my children’s heart, not their behaviors
b) I don’t discipline out of anger but out of love
c) I show them Jesus every day
3 Ways I show my children Jesus in the everyday:
a) Planned – family discipleship times
b) Moments – everyday opportunities
c) Memorials – celebrate significant milestones
