A Christ Like Home: 2.Christlike Parents And Children - Zac Poonen
Part of Marriage Messages Zac Poonen · 9 of 83
Summary
The sermon emphasizes that raising children in a Christ-like manner is a vital measure of genuine Christian faith, as children see hypocrisy when parents do not live by their preached words. The speaker draws on scripture to argue that parents have a significant responsibility to train their children in the faith, citing Moses' mother as an example of early, dedicated spiritual training. Ultimately, living by faith and rejecting the world's allure, as Moses did, is the goal for both parents and children.

8. Raising Godly Children -- Zac Poonen -- March 1, 2009
Zac Poonen · Mar 9, 2023
The central message is that raising children is a sacred trust from God, requiring faith from parents, similar to how Moses' parents protected him. The speaker emphasizes that every child is a gift from God, and parents must treat their children as such, recognizing that receiving a child in Jesus' name is equivalent to receiving Christ. Furthermore, while children teach us humility, the process of raising them requires continuous prayer and discipline to overcome sin's nature.
