The Role of Parents

October 1, 2023 • D. Kevin Brown • Proverbs 14:26

Are your children confident in you? Do they trust that you have their best interests at heart? Proverbs 14:26 says: “In the fear of the Lord one has strong confidence, and his children will have a refuge. God has designed the home with roles for Dads, moms and children to operate in within that family. These roles are defined by Scripture. Join us as we see: “The Role of Parents” and understand how God has designed the home to function. Buckle up. This message will go totally against the grain of the culture we’re all immersed in today.

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.”
