Kingdom Parenting, Part 206/26/05

  • Speaker – Greg Boyd
     
  • Topics – Forgiveness, Parenting, Family
  • Greg reviewed the main points from last week which were: individually, we all need to “get a life.” By this he means we need to get out life from Christ so that we are operating out of a fullness, rather than a deficit. Then as couples, we need to get a life together! One of the best things parents can do for their children is to model what it is for parents to love one another and have a rich, vibrant life together. This week Greg focused on a third principle. Breaking the domino effect of generational curses through the power of forgiveness.

Kingdom Parenting06/19/05

  • Speaker – Greg Boyd
     
  • Topics – Marriage, Parenting, Creation Care, Family
  • This week's sermon is entitled "Kingdom Parenting." Greg kept our eyes on Luke 1:13-17 and pointed out that there is a prophecy being fulfilled here that might escape our attention if we read through this passage too quickly. It is found in verse 16 that John will "turn the hearts of the parents to their children" which echoes what was stated in Mal. 4:5-6. The focus of today's message is what does it mean to be "kingdom parents"?
