This Sunday, we’re diving into “Family Matters: Raising Them Right”: a practical message that shows us the biblical way to raise up our children.
No one is really prepared to raise kids, its on the job training and learning.
Our kids are blessings from God. We want to protect them, and we want them to thrive.
Children today are under attack from a multitude of evils
Children today are under constant pressure from social media
So how do we raise kids right? By giving them what they need,
not what they want.
Gifts for our children:
1. Convictions vs Convenience
2. Correction vs Coddling
3. Community vs Compromise
How do we view our children: are we owners or stewards?
As much as we love our children, God loves them exhaustively more than we ever can.

That’s true hope for all parents!
TALK IT OVER

Parenting & Preparedness
-What are some ways that parenting feels like "on-the-job training" and how can we be more prepared for each stage of our children’s growth?
-Have you ever felt unqualified or overwhelmed as a parent? How did you handle it, and what did you learn?
-What are some practical ways to protect and guide our children while also allowing them to grow and make their own choices?

Challenges in Parenting Today
-How does the world influence our children in ways that previous generations didn’t face?
-In what ways can social media negatively impact children, and how can we help them navigate it in a godly way?
-What are some of the biggest dangers facing children today, and how can we, as parents, guard against them?

Gifts for Our Children: Conviction, Correction, and Community
-How do we teach our children to live by conviction rather than convenience? What are some examples of this in daily life?
-What does it mean that faith is "caught more than taught" and how can we ensure we are modeling godly behavior for our children?
-What does biblical correction look like in today’s parenting? How do we find the balance between discipline and grace?
-How do we avoid coddling our kids while still making them feel safe and loved?

Community & Influence
-What role does the church community play in raising our children in the faith, and how can we engage with it more?
-How can we be more intentional about surrounding our children with godly influences and role models?
-Have you ever had to make a tough decision about a friendship or environment that was negatively influencing your child? How did you handle it?

Trusting God in Parenting
-How do we shift our mindset from being "owners" of our children to being "stewards" of them?
-How can parents find hope when their children walk away from the faith, and how does God's love for our kids give us peace in parenting?
