基督徒婚姻與家庭系列——在主裡養育兒女 經文:以弗所書 6:1-4;申命記 6:4-9 講員:劉珂傳道 講道大綱 引言: 耶和華說:我所要作的事豈可瞞著亞伯拉罕呢?亞伯拉罕必要成為強大的國;地上的萬國都必因他得福。我眷顧他,為要叫他吩咐他的眾子和他的眷屬遵守我的道,秉公行義,使我所應許亞伯拉罕的話都成就了。(創 18:17-19) 1. 順服父母 你們作兒女的,要在主裏聽從父母,這是理所當然的。要孝敬父母,使你得福,在世長壽。這是第一條帶應許的誡命。你們作父親的,不要惹兒女的氣,只要照著主的教訓和警戒養育他們。(弗 6:1-4) 2. 管教有度 你們作父親的,不要惹兒女的氣,只要照著主的教訓和警戒養育他們。(弗 6:4) 3. 言傳身教 你們作父親的,不要惹兒女的氣,只要照著主的教訓和警戒養育他們。(弗 6:4) 以色列啊,你要聽。耶和華我們神是獨一的主。你要盡心,盡性,盡力愛耶和華你的神。我今日所吩咐你的話都要記在心上,也要殷勤教訓你的兒女。無論你坐在家裏,行在路上,躺下,起來,都要談論。也要系在手上為記號,戴在額上為經文。又要寫在你房屋的門框上,並你的城門上。(申 6:4-9) 總結: 無論你身處任何環境,你會穿上聖潔,盡上你作為基督門徒的責任,使你的言行帶來基督的影響。我們寧願看見你身處陰暗卑微的境況,仍然於神的聖潔有份,遠比你站在名利的顛峰,受盡世人羨慕的目光,卻忘記神,缺乏對神敬畏的心。

Developing a Biblical Worldview in our Families
November 8, 2020 • Rev. Reuben Foncardas • Deuteronomy 6:4–9
Sermon Notes As parents, we need to work to ensure our children have a relationship with Jesus, not just a desire to be part of a loving community doing good. In other words, we need to ask, are we discipling or merely socializing our children in church? —Ed Stetzer Deuteronomy 6:4-9 shows us three instructions we must carry out in order to develop a biblical worldview in our families. 1. Listen: Be obedient to God! - Developing a biblical worldview begins with God. We must know him, his will, and his ways. - How serious are we in studying God’s Word? 2. Love: Be devoted to God! - God must be first in everything if we truly love him. - Is God first in our finances, in our interests, in our relationships, in our schedule, and in our troubles? 3. Lead: Be a messenger of God! - Three ways we can lead our children: Tell them, Show them, and Do it with them. - We teach with our words and with our lives and our influence must go beyond our home. Conclusion Listen to God and you will http://believe.love God and you will be http://convinced.lead your children and you will be passionate for God
