The Family – Children (Part 6)
After we have instructed our children, how are we to correct them when they sin? And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth…
The Family – Children (Part 5)
Part of discipleship is discipline. How are we to discipline our children? There are two types of discipline, one is formative, the other is corrective. One seeks to instruct the child in the direction they should go and form their character, the other seeks to correct the child and restore the child to the correct path. We will begin with formative discipline. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But…
The Family – Children (Part 4)
As we think about discipling our children, where do we begin? And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It…
The Family – Children (Part 2)
We saw last time that children are blessings from the Lord. This week we will look at the question, “Who does God entrust children to?” Parents? The State? The Church? Society? And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept. And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously…
The Family – Children (Part 1)
As we continue to look at the family, we now turn our attention to children. First, we want to see the theological significance of children. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Genesis 1:28 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,…
The Family – Marriage (Part 7)
We now look at the role of wives. Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands. Proverbs 14:1 Women have tremendous power in their marriages. They can produce great marriages, or they can destroy their marriage. The interesting point to me of Proverbs 14:1 is that the woman can do this entirely by herself. She does not need any help to build or destroy her home. And Adam gave names to all cattle,…
The Family – Marriage (Part 6)
We now turn our study to the role of the husband within a marriage. But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head. But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were…
The Family – Marriage (Part 5)
As we continue to talk about marriage and family, we will now deal with how long the marriage covenant lasts. What about divorce? The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a…
The Family – Marriage (Part 4)
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of…
The Family – Marriage (Part 3)
Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. Acts 20:28 In the covenant of grace, Jesus bride must be redeemed or purchased. His bride is part of the family of Adam and in order to bring us into His family, we must be redeemed, born again, and purchased. The price that Jesus paid is…
The Family – Marriage (Part 2)
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace,…
The Family – Marriage (Part 1)
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Genesis 2:24 Marriage is the one flesh union of one man and one woman for life. This union is to be a blood covenant, a union only ended by death. Marriage establishes a new family unit. And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male…
