God’s Guidelines for Growing Your Kids – Ephesians 6:1-4

Ephesians 6:1-4


Most of us love our children, but that is not the issue. The issue is: do your
children feel loved? We will love our children by educating them, and we will grow our children by encouraging them. We must love our children by introducing them to the perfect Father who condescended to our level and who will never leave or forsake us.

Jesus saves us from futility, gives our lives meaning and significance, because everything that is done in his name here matters.

The resurrection changes everything.

• This was what changed the world.
• This changed the disciples.

John said, “We saw him, we touched him”

Do you believe?

• Let the evidence challenge your mind
• Let his grace change your heart
• Let his mission consume your life

The tomb is empty; the throne is occupied. Believe! Rejoice! Relax! Labor! Anticipate!

There are three things of great significance for us in 2 Corinthians 5:11-21. We share with Paul, his motives, his message, and his mission. What is IDC about? Here you go…

#1: Our Motives: (2 Cor. 5:11-16)

  • He desired to please God above all things (5:9-13)
  • He was compelled by the love of Christ. (14-16)

#2: Our Message: The Gospel (2 Cor. 5:17-21)

  • Regeneration: New Life in Christ (17-18a)
  • Reconciliation: Peace with God through Christ (18-19)
  • Justification: Being Counted Righteous in Christ (21)

#3: Our Ministry: “a ministry of reconciliation” (2 Cor. 5:11, 18-20)

As ambassadors of Jesus we want to represent Jesus with our deeds and we want to make the good news known with our words. The world needs good news. We want people to be reconciled to God.

  • Speak Persuasively, “we persuade others” (11)
  • Speak Powerfully, “God making his appeal through us” (20b; Eph. 6:18-20; Prov. 28:1)
  • Speak Passionately, “we implore you… be reconciled to God” (20c)
