What does the Bible say about the way we should discipline our children? How does it guide us as we seek to navigate the pitfalls of parenting? In an effort to help parents raise their children in the fear and admonition of the Lord, pastors and TGC Council members Mike Bullmore, Ryan Kelly, and Vermon Pierre consider the ways Scripture has informed their own methods of discipline.
Pierre (lead pastor for preaching and mission at Roosevelt Community Church in Phoenix, Arizona) reflects on the need to be deliberate in pointing our kids in the direction of the gospel at all times. Bullmore (senior pastor of CrossWay Community Church in Kenosha, Wisconsin) underscores the connection between discipleship and discipline, and reminds us that our job as parents is to help children obey. Kelly (pastor for preaching at Desert Springs Church in Albuquerque, New Mexico) speaks to the importance of setting expectations and the vital role the local church has played in his own development as a parent.
Free eBook by Rebecca McLaughlin: ‘Jesus Through the Eyes of Women’
If the women who followed Jesus could tell you what he was like, what would they say?
Jesus’s treatment of women was revolutionary. That’s why they flocked to him. Wherever he went, they sought him out. Women sat at his feet and tugged at his robes. They came to him for healing, for forgiveness, and for answers. So what did women see in this first-century Jewish rabbi and what can we learn as we look through their eyes today?
In Jesus Through the Eyes of Women, Rebecca McLaughlin explores the life-changing accounts of women who met the Lord. By entering the stories of the named and unnamed women in the Gospels, this book gives readers a unique lens to see Jesus as these women did and marvel at how he loved them in return.
