Guiding principles for family life must be known and applied by all parents. We learn by experience how to bring up children so that they can become part of the family of God. We must show by example that we truly love God and live the Truth, as we involve our children in worship and education in God's Word.
We believe that the Scriptures provide a complete, divine template for raising children in a world that is increasingly hostile to God’s ways. This presentation delves into the often-overlooked truth that parents are divinely appointed to represent Yahweh to their children, acting as His proxies in origin, example, and authority. As Christadelphians, we examine the clear scriptural mandate that parents are the primary instruments for building the family of God, and that the ultimate goal is to help our children transition their loyalty from earthly parents to their Heavenly Father.
This is a thought-provoking and deeply insightful expositional study on the divine role of parents. We explore how the spiritual formation of our children is far more about "catching" the truth than it is about a checklist of rules. This presentation offers outstanding biblical principles that serve as a guide to navigate the challenges of raising godly children in an ungodly world.
We discuss how parents are called to be originators, examples, providers, and gatekeepers, and how God's own fatherhood serves as the perfect model for our own parenting. We look at the importance of relationship, the necessity of discipline and training, and the vital role of dialogue and commendation.
Whether you are a parent, grandparent, or a member of the ecclesial family, this video reveals how we can all have a wonderful impact on the next generation. The truth, as we explore it, is more caught than taught. By living the truth and making God real in our homes, we create a powerful, non-verbal signal that shapes our children’s hearts and guides them toward eternal life.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation="none"]Description: This is the story of Benjamin—a son born of sorrow, yet renamed to be exalted from destruction and death.
Through the tribe of Benjamin to Israel’s first King to the Apostle Paul—during this millennia of time we see a repeating pattern in biblical history of failure, judgement, restoration and redemption.
Could this be the what we see playing out with the nation of Israel today? It’s undeniably similar as we sit on the edge of our seats watching and waiting for the only name that saves; Christ Jesus our King!
