Parents, you have a weekly opportunity to train your children to study the Bible. It’s taken me some time to realize it. Perhaps this nudge will help you take advantage of it as well.
Erik Raymond writes about “Helping Children Benefit from the Sermon.” He offers tips for both parents and pastors. Parents, have you considered:
- Reading the sermon text before church?
- Asking the children questions about the text?
- Praying together for the preacher?
- Asking and expecting your children to take notes or draw pictures about the sermon?
- Reviewing the children’s notes after church?
- Praying together for what God taught you?
Raymond’s ideas challenged and encouraged me. I encourage you to check it out.
