MESSAGE NOTES
“Detangling Family Patterns to Seek God’s Redemption”
Series, “Intentional Parenting,” Message 2
Dr. James Hawkins*
Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:20-25
“In the future, when your son asks you, “What is the meaning of the stipulations, decrees and laws the Lord our God has commanded you?” 21 tell him: “We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, but the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand. 22 Before our eyes the Lord sent signs and wonders—great and terrible—on Egypt and Pharaoh and his whole household. 23 But he brought us out from there to bring us in and give us the land he promised on oath to our ancestors. 24 The Lord commanded us to obey all these decrees and to fear the Lord our God, so that we might always prosper and be kept alive, as is the case today. 25 And if we are careful to obey all this law before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us, that will be our righteousness.”
What do you know about the experiences of your parents and grandparents? How did they respond to those experiences? How did those experiences impact them personally, and what they passed on in the family?
How would you describe the experience of being in your family (good and hard) that still impacts you?
What are the patterns in your family that you want to break in your life and for the next generation?
What spiritual legacy do you want to cultivate and pass on to the next generation?
