Parents and Children in the Home (5 of 6)
Series: No Place like Home

Ephesians 6:1-4
Is there a topic a parent feels less qualified to talk about than parenting? I have 3 children ages 5, 3, and 6 months. I have not parented someone through elementary school much less the teen years, so this topic intimidates me. - At the same time it highly interests me because... I'm living it every day 24/7. And I want to do it well because I have been entrusted with parenting 3 image bearers of God. 3 souls God sent His Son to die for.
While I feel like I have a lot to learn I take heart today in that as far as we know the Apostle Paul had no wife or children, and yet God used him to teach on both marriage and children. - Now, when it comes to being a child... I have years of experience. - It's not my experience this morning I want us to learn from. If all we have is my wisdom this morning we are going to starve spiritually. This morning, we want God's wisdom. I take heart in the Word this morning. I'm in sufficient but God's Word is abundantly sufficient.
This morning we are talking about the relationship between parents and children. Paul addresses children and parents directly and even in what he tells the children we learn something about parenting. - This is a rich and important text.
The relationship between parent in child is important. - Let us know forget God tells us to call him Father, and calls His people His children. That tells us a lot about the importance of this relationship and how the truth of God's Word and His gospel should inform it.
Eph. 6:1-4- Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 ''Honor your father and mother'' (this is the first commandment with a promise), 3 ''that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.'' 4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.?
