Helping our Children Avoid the Road of Rebellion (5 of 5)
Ernest L. Easley
1 Samuel 2-3
As we continue our summer series of messages under the heading: There's No Place Like Home, join me in the Old Testament book of 1 Samuel.
We're going to begin reading in a moment from chapter 2 verse 12 about a dysfunctional family.

That's why you find throughout the Bible dysfunctional families. Isaac had a dysfunctional family! Jacob had a dysfunctional family! David had a dysfunctional family!
And then there was Judge Eli! Now Eli's family perhaps was similar to yours. Eli was a faithful man. Even his name tells us that for the name Eli means Jehovah, my God. He had a duel responsibility at the church as both priest and judge.
Eli was also a family man. He had two sons who grew up to be priest like their daddy. But there was something wrong in his home. Eli was a success professionally but a failure domestically.
Eli reminds me of Billy Sunday, the great evangelist. As he was out winning the world he neglected his children. In fact... all of his children turned from the faith and several became alcoholics. And at the end of his ministry, Billy Sunday said, I have won the entire world to Christ, but have lost my family.
Well Eli made some tragic mistakes with his family. Mistakes that if you make will lead your children down the road of rebellion. And that road leads to ruin!
That's what I want to talk to you about this morning. It's from the Word of God that I want to show you as parents How to Help your children avoid the road of rebellion! And I say help because your child has a will of their own. And you can teach them... train them... model befor ...
