Joshua 4:1-24

Joshua had them pile the stones as a memorial so they had a place to take their children back to to remind them what God had done.

I would speak about building memorials in our lives - having places that, when our children need to be reminded what God has done and what He can do now and in the future - we would be able to take them back to those times. We can say to our children, "If God was able to bring us thru *whatever it was*, then we know that God is able to take us through whatever we are going through now.

Build faith in your children by reminding them who God is, how much He loves them and cares for them and what He has done for them.

[OneAccord]

Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Eph 6:4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.


or....

Eph 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

Unless God changes my mind before in the morning, I plan on using the text of the prodigal son. Teaching on the free will of the son to walk away, how the father did not prevent him, but was ready to forgive and show love when he came home.

I believe we are in the age of grace, but judgement is coming. Contrast the father's love with the brother's judgement. It still happens in the "family". IMO, to begrudge the "favor" (grace) of a sibling shown by the "Father" speaks of insecurity and jealousy.

Did you know last Sunday was "Childrens Day" ? Really. Pastor taught on how to raise your kids proper last week.

Very good teaching BTW. (in case my pastor is lurking)
