“4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. 5 You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 6 And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.” - Deuteronomy 6:4-9
FAMILY DISCIPLESHIP:
“Family Discipleship is the family of God partnering with and equipping parents/guardians to help build in their children an authentic faith in Jesus.”
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
Often times whenever we hear the words “evangelism” and “discipleship,” our default mode is to think outward (something we do with those outside of our homes). Why is it important to think about these things as something we do within our home, as well as outside of our homes?
Why is it important to see that God calls us to “love him” and “learn his commandments” before he commands us to teach our children?
Where and how can we teach and disciple the next generation?
How is family discipleship a church wide endeavor?
