For example • For Preschoolers – How are we helping them to develop in their understanding of right and wrong? • For Primary School Children – How do our expectations of them enable them to develop a godly and healthy attitude toward themselves? • For Youths – How are we making life decisions based on Christian values regarding issues such as sexual purity and peer pressure? • For Emerging Adults – How do we display a life that is still growing in God and living a life centered upon God?
Our iPhone app and website have pointers from the lessons taught in DiscoveryLand and IGNYTE DefinYtion. Great talking points for family discussion to start with!
C. Talk about God For our children to gain salvation and to grow in their faith, someone has to tell them about the goodness of God and how God is working in their lives.You have the privilege to be the first few to share God’s love with them and teach them to see God in their lives. It doesn’t have to be everyday – it’s quite impossible with our travelling schedules and bizarre working hours. But your children will benefit from the times you have heart to heart talks with them about God. Talk about God's love and faithfulness. Share your own life-transforming stories of how you encountered God and became a Christian. Encourage them with the Word of God. With youths and emerging young adults, interact with them on deeper levels and challenge their mindsets. Help them to interact with the Word of God and the daily rigors of life so they can see how Christ makes a difference in their decisions and actions.
Encourage them to serve in and attend their respective services. Best place for them to find good Christian friends is in the Youth and Children services. The lessons and thoughts they carry home from the weekly sessions are great discussion topics that you can talk about at lunch after service.
