Do you have a faith heritage? Share it with the group.
Do you agree with the main statement of this sermon? (see main heading on notes page) How has it shaped your thinking about God and family?
One definition of the Mission of God is “All that God intends and does whereby all peoples may know and worship Him alone.” Explain that in your own words.
Read again Genesis 12:1-3, and 18:18-19. What does this teach us about the substance of faith? How does that impact the way we instruct others in the faith?
Read Matthew 28:18-20. How is our understanding of the Abrahamic Blessing connected to this passage?
Do a quick search in the New Testament for passages that use familial language (feel free to use google, bible concordance, etc.). What does this show us in how to think of the local church?
Why is passing on the faith to the next generation a critical task of the church? What can be some of the consequences if we don’t?
Close in prayer. Pray for Christian families raising children. Pray for families whose children have rejected the faith. Pray for God to make our church a place where the next generation feels valued, loved, and cared for.
