In this sermon Passing The Faith Along to our children is so important that it is specifically mentioned in the first sermon ever preached to the New Testament Church. As Peter exposes the plan of salvation and opens the door to the kingdom, he also adds that it is for “ …unto you, and to your children...” (Acts 2:39)
Children are our interns or apprentices. In the Bible, male children were trained by their fathers and usually followed the occupation of their father. If Father was a carpenter than the son also became a carpenter. In the spiritual sense, our children are also apprentices. They learn by the “caught it” method rather than the “taught it” method. They learn by watching us. What are you teaching your children about living for God and serving Him?
