December 11, 2011 - Parents As Spiritual Leaders: Letting Go and Holding On

Pastor Bill Dempsey | Comments (0) | Discuss this Sermon
Many of us believe that parenting is permanent relationship, but the Bible challenges this notion. In fact, a final necessary act of parenting is letting go and trusting God to lead, love, and discipline our children with us and without us.

November 13, 2011 - Parents as Spiritual Leaders: Teaching in Real Life

Pastor Bill Dempsey | Comments (0) | Discuss this Sermon
Do as I say and not as I do. Too often this old adage is the way we try to instruct and lead our kids in how they ought to live their life...and this teaching leads to failure. Instead God calls us to instruct and train our kids in real life situations with real life practice every day. This is where the hardest teaching--and most profound learning--can occur.
