Weekly Challenge

Life Group Family & Friends:

Complete a family time activity this week.  You can find activities HERE

Things to discuss:
Kurt & Olivia said “Children don’t usually reject Christianity because of bad teaching.  They reject it because of weak relationships.”    Is this true?  Why?

Gary Thomas mentioned that sometimes well-intentioned parents make their kids feel like projects.  What did he mean by that?

Gary passed on something he learned from Kevin Leman:  “If the family doesn’t play together when the kids are young, they won’t want to play together when they get older.”  He talked about how we push our kids to excel in soccer, baseball, math, or music – all outside the home – and we can forget to play together at home.

Do you think that is a problem for families in Rockwall?  In our church?  In our LG?  For you?

What can we do about it?

Our relationship with our children is guided by the same biblical principles about relationships with other people.  Read Colossians 3: 12-14

How does this look in your home?

Be Intentional.
