Here’s the last installment from our most recent corporate meeting…

(Part 1)

(Part 2)

Main point:  Out of a heart of love for the Savior, we seek to help others to grow in their love for the Savior.

We reach out, we encourage – and there is one more way we can be an influence on others for godliness.

six14 Recap (3.28) – Part 2

Here’s the second part of our recap from our most recent parent-youth corporate meeting.  (Click here for part 1.) I hope it’s helpful…

How Children Come to Faith in Christ

I saw this post on Justin Taylor’s blog, and I thought the messages mentioned could serve…

How Children Come to Faith in Christ

Ryan Kelly:

In an earlier post I pointed to some resources for wrestling through the issues of the gospel, conversion, and assurance with our kids. One of the best resources I’ve found is the the Family Life Today radio interviews with Jim Elliff, “How Children Come to Faith in Christ.” You can purchase the series on audio CDs here, which I already mentioned. However, in addition I discovered that six of the sessions are available online for free:

1. Genuine Salvation: More Than a Prayer

2. How Children Come to Faith in Christ

3. Taking Our Children to Church: Is That Enough?

4. How to Deal With Doubt

5. Observing Salvation in Your Child: What Does It Look Like?

6. The Family: No Better Place to Come to Know Christ!

Transcripts are also available at the bottom of each of these pages’ links.

I cannot recommend these talks enough to any parent wanting to be thoughtful, careful, and prayerful in the salvation of their children.

six14 Recap (3.28) – Part 1

It was great being with so many of you last Saturday night!  I hope you enjoyed our time together as parents and youth as much as I did.   I thought it might serve if I recapped our time by taking the message I gave and making three blog posts out of it.  I hope doing so serves you as you “continue the conversation” with your youth, helping them to understand and apply what we talked about.  Here are the fellowship points I suggested to continue the conversation:

• The Encouragement Point (for parents to ask):  As your parent, the ways in which I’m most encouraged about how you influence others for godliness would be…
• The Application Point (for parents to ask):  Which of these three areas (reach out, encourage, correct) is most difficult for you?  How can I help you with that area?  What do you think specific growth looks like that you might care for others more in the ways we’ve discussed?
• The Input Point (for youth to ask):  As my parent, what concerns or questions would you have about the ways I do or do not influence others for godliness?
