The Strong Willed Child and Hurting Parents (6 of 7)
Series: How to Build a Marriage that Lasts

Luke 15:11-24
If you will notice our topic for today is "The Strong Willed Child and Hurting Parents". It is from Luke 15. We have been talking about "How to Build a Marriage That Lasts".

Because the father in this story who has two sons is God. And we see how the father reacted to the son who rebelled against him and how he dealt with that rebellion and we see the result of it in this story.
One of the greatest hurts that can come can come to parents. And I wouldn't claim to be an authority on parenting. In fact I am sort of like Charlie Shed who is a Christian speaker, lecturer, and author. And he was giving some lectures on parenting when he was single, before he even got married. And he gave lectures and he entitled the lecture "How to Raise Your Children for the Lord". Then he said he got married and had his first child and he change ...
