Proverbs 22:6 ESV
Train up a child in the way he should go;
even when he is old he will not depart from it.

Sermon Discussion Guide

Big Idea:

“Whether you are a parent of a young child or not, God’s wisdom in this passage is vital for who we are as a community. While each individual makes their own choices, it doesn’t remove our responsibility to pursue the Godly principles he has laid out and apply them with wisdom. As a parent, the greatest example in guiding your children in the way they should go is to see you walking to the foot of the cross and finding your hope in a Father who would not spare his own son to make way for his children to come to him. Because of the cross, it is never too late to find hope for the kids you have raised, or the kids you will raise, be made anew.”
