SERMON SEEDS
Last Sunday, I preached on the topic of “Father’s Who Lead.” Here are some discussion questions that Dad’s can sit down and have with your family at home. Our main passage came from (Eph. 6:4) which says, “Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.”
1. Ask your kids to explain to you how you “exasperate” them as a Dad. As you are asking them, do not become defensive. Just listen and take note of what is being said.
2. We talked about the 2 ways a father leads his home: “Captain & Coach”. Ask your family what each of these mean to them.
3. Discuss with your spouse how to make better “emotional deposits” into each of your children. Remember, each child is different and will have different emotional needs.
Hopefully, these questions will you dad’s to raise the level of leadership in your home. After all, your child’s biggest need is for you to be the leader of your home.
ANSWER TO PRAYER
Last Sunday, several people gathererd around Brad and Lisa Stratton to pray for a physical healing for their daughter Natalie. We received word today that the Doctor gave them a very favorable response. Thank you Team for believing together with this family!
Our God is an awesome God!
