We receive our children from the Lord, not as lumps of clay that we get to mold into what we want, as parents; but instead, to be molded into what God has “bent” them to be. Proverbs 22:6 teaches: “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it.” That means God has made each child with a set of abilities, intellectual capacities, and gifts that are suited specifically for them and how God wants them to be. Join us as we see how God has designed our children in unique and specific ways, as we ask: “What Do Children Need?”

Therefore, since that is the case, how are people supposed to be able to discern who they’re supposed to marry? Well, join us as we see how we’re supposed to navigate premarital relationships and what God’s purpose is in those relationships. Hint: it’s nothing like the current “system” we call “dating.” It’s something much better! Join us!

Well, thankfully we have a passage in Scripture about the “Prodigal (wayward) Son” that helps us know what to do. Join us as we see that all is not lost, if they walk away. Hope remains! Come be with us! You’ll be encouraged!
Parenting: Teaching and Training Children
October 29, 2023 • D. Kevin Brown • Proverbs 1:8–9
It’s been said, “Parenting is one of the hardest things you’ll ever do as a person.” Anyone who is a parent knows that statement to be true. Yet, there are principles in Scripture that guide us and provide instructions for how to raise children, and while there are no “cookie-cutter” answers, there is great encouragement to be gleaned from Proverbs. Join us as we do just that as we look at the “nuts and bolts” of parenting and talk about: “Parenting: Teaching and Training Children.”
