This sermon from Ben Martin, our senior elder at Dorchester Family Church, focuses on what the Bible outlines as the fundamental needs of children. Using Luke 2:52 which describes how Jesus "grew in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man," Ben identifies four key areas parents should nurture: intellectual/wisdom, physical, spiritual/relationship with God, and relational/favour with others. He provides practical parenting advice for each area, to raise children to become more like Christ.

Ben encourages parents to look to God's wisdom over worldly definitions of success, and to embrace the support of their church community in this high calling of parenthood.

The overarching message is that godly parenting means facilitating children's growth in these four spheres modeled by Jesus himself.

From Matthew 13:24-30 & 36-43, elder Dave Wall shares three life-changing questions; Which kingdom will I choose? Which identity will I be given? Which king will I follow?

Join Dave as he delves into the profound themes of choice and destiny in our latest sermon from the Kingdom of God series. Reflecting on critical decisions outlined in the Gospels, Dave challenges us to consider which kingdom we align with, which identity we embrace, and which king we follow.

💡 Sermon Highlights:
- Kingdom Choice: Are we choosing self-rule over God's sovereignty? As C.S. Lewis poignantly noted, "hell is God's monument to human decisions."
- Identity: Are we wheat or weeds? Through grace, God offers us a new narrative, one written in the ink of His mercy (Colossians 1:13).
- Allegiance: Jesus, the Bread of Life, breaks so we can be made whole. His path is one of life, truth, and ultimate redemption.

📘 Dive deeper into these existential questions and discover the transformative power of choosing God’s Kingdom.
