Children and Parents | Ephesians 6:1-4

When the gospel came to Ephesus in the first century AD, a riot broke out. The good news of Jesus upended pagan ways of thinking and living. A similar confrontation awaits us as we encounter Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. This glorious epistle challenges us to ponder the story we're living in, the purpose we're pursuing, and the relationships we're building along the way. In this series, we see how gospel doctrine ignites renewal and love as we get swept up in God’s purpose to unite and fill all things in Jesus Christ.

"Honor your father and mother." Raise your kids "in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." While these verses are in many ways clear to understand, they are also complex and challenging to live out in everyday life. We need the truths of the gospel and the empowering of the Spirit to live into God's design for parents and children. In this teaching, we explore what it looks like to be a Spirit dependent people who live out repentance and faith as parents and children.
