Start to Finish Week 2 - Is Marriage Still Important?  Ben Foote (Teaching Pastor - Flatirons Community Church) Description: You can read all the parenting books in the world, but at the end of the day, each one of your kids is a totally unique human being—unlike anyone else who has ever existed. So where’s the instruction manual? Join Ben Foote (Teaching Pastor of Flatirons Community Church) in week two of the series for a message on parenting. Message Notes:    How do we parent the way God wants us to parent?   What does the Bible say about parenting? Deuteronomy 6:4-6 (NIV) Deuteronomy 6:7a (NIV) Deuteronomy 6:7-9 (NIV) To impress on our children requires repetition + time. Our kids are being shaped and sharpened by the way we’re choosing to talk, think and act. Three characteristics to follow for godly parenting: Attention 1 John 5:14 (NIV)Affection John 3:16 (NIV) Kids need to hear and feel our love for them. Authority All authority has been given to Jesus. (Matthew 28:18 NIV) Authority allows Jesus to empower us, tell us hard truth, discipline us and forgive us. Our kids need our authority just like we need Jesus’ authority.  — Helpful Links: For family resources, visit https://gethope.net/familyministry/#resources  If you’re new to Hope or looking to get connected, click here: https://gethope.net/next/ If you’d like to receive regular updates on what’s happening around Hope, subscribe to our newsletter here: https://gethope.net/enews/ To support this ministry financially to help us continue to love people where they are and encourage them to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ, click here: https://gethope.net/give/ Subscribe to our channel: https://bit.ly/2XBbBxq Stay Connected with Hope: Website: https://gethope.net/ Hope Community Church Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gethopecommunitychurch  Hope Community Church Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/get_hope/ Hope Community Church Twitter: https://twitter.com/get_hope Hope Community Church YouTube: https://youtube.com/c/HopeCommunityChurch Subscribe to Our Podcast - Hope In Real Life YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HopeInRealLife Hope In Real Life Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7eifzI0r9uY8rUaBMGs7q1 Hope In Real Life Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hope-in-real-life-with-jason-gore/id1691710678?uo=4
