Taking Aim at Parenting

Part 2 – Deuteronomy 6.1-9

What our kids need most:  knowing God through the Gospel.

Modeling

• External Authority (v.1-2)
• Unqualified Obedience (v.2-3)
• Consuming Passion (v.5)

Prayer

• Our prayers are directed to the one true God (v.4).
• Our prayers get offered for our kids and with them.

Teaching (v.7-9)

• Our audience is heirlooms and arrows (Psalm 127.3-5).
• Our content is delivered in a Gospel environment (Deut. 5.6).
• Our content lays out the right way to relate to God within that environment (Deut. 5.7-21). 
• Our method is the consistent, spontaneous, and visible witness about God.

Training

• Training is always after the heart.
• The goal is for kids to learn to hear God’s voice and obey it.
