Scott Palmer - GIVING THE FAITH TO THE NEXT GENERATION

 

Three Principles

1.     BE ____________________.

“In your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,” I Peter 3: 15 (ESV)

 

“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.”  II Peter 3: 18 (ESV)

 2.   BE ____________________.

“ These words that I am giving you today are to be in your heart.  Repeat them to your children. Talk about them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.  Bind them as a sign on your hand and let them be a symbol on your forehead.  Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your city gates.” Deuteronomy 6: 6-9 (CSB)

 

 “Just as each one has received a gift, use it to serve others, as good stewards of the varied grace of God.” I Peter 4: 10 (CSB)

 

3.   BE ____________________.

“But if it doesn’t please you to worship the Lord, choose for yourselves today: Which will you worship—the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates River or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living? As for me and my family, we will worship the Lord.” Joshua 24: 15 (CSB)

 

“Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger by the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the discipline and instruction that comes from the Lord.” Ephesians 6: 4 (NLT)
