Christian Education Begins in the HOME

There are many things in our culture that often cause us to be fearful and anxious. However, God shows us that when we live by faith, our trust in Him helps us to overcome the fears we face. A key part of living a fearless life is being fearless in prayer. If you are facing a seemingly hopeless and difficult situation, this message will help you learn what to do and how to walk in faith instead of fear. We pray that you will listen today to discover how you can have victory!

Text: Deuteronomy 6:1-7 (NKJV)

God has given many responsibilities to a parent, both father and mother. While providing and protecting our children is at the top of the list, we also find at the top of the list that they are to be trained, especially receiving training that brings about spiritual knowledge and growth! From Deuteronomy 6 and Ephesians 6 we find specific instructions for the spiritual education of a child and it is clear that this teaching BEGINS in the HOME. Taking a page from the school system that says a child needs to learn the 3 Rs (reading, writing, and arithmetic), we find there are 3 Rs for spiritual training. We are to train our children to have a REVERENCE for God, to have a RESPECT for others, and to grow in being RESPONSIBLE for oneself!
