Partnering With Parents: Gospel Training

Tim, there are three critical decisions that you need to make in life: who you will live your life for; who you will live your life with; and, what you will spend your life doing. I heard this lesson with broad explanation for each decision my entire childhood. My dad was committed to challenging me to see the critical nature of these decisions. Well, God’s Spirit captured my heart early in life, called me to ministry as a teenager, and then led me to Debbie in my mid-twenties. Beyond this and other conversations that we had, my dad made my involvement in church a critical part of my upbringing, including providing me a Christian high school education.

This Sunday, we’re going to emphasize our role as parents to disciple our children and consider the responsibility of the covenant community to partner with parents in their role. While we accept our responsibilities, we labor in dependence on God’s Spirit to do the heart work that our children need. Join us as we pray for our children and worship the One who loves them more than we do!
