Parents: What To Do When Your Child Walks Away

November 5, 2023 • D. Kevin Brown • Proverbs 23:24–25

It happens. You teach and train and do the best you can to raise your children to follow the Lord, but what do you do when one walks away? Then what? 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!

What Does the Bible Say about Dating?

November 12, 2023 • D. Kevin Brown • Song of Songs 2:7

“What Does the Bible Say About Dating?” Nothing. Yes, you read that correctly. Nothing. The concept of “dating” is not in the Bible. 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!

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.”

Parenting: Going Beyond the Behavior

October 22, 2023 • D. Kevin Brown • Proverbs 13:24

Should parents expect their children to obey? The easy answer is: Yes. But, how? What are the biblical principles for discipline and how should discipline be seen by Christian parents? This message will once again go against the grain of culture, but as we’ve seen, God’s Word does not change with the culture. Join us as we see how discipline must be directed toward the heart and not the behavior. We’ll see that when you get to the heart, you get to the behavior: “Parenting: Going Beyond the Behavior.”
