Sunday Morning Message - "Spirit-Filled Parenting"

In this message from November 2, Pastor Kyle explores God's design for the parent-child relationship and how biblical parenting reflects our relationship with Him. We learn that parenting isn't just about raising better kids—it's about displaying Christ to the next generation. Paul's household codes in Ephesians show us that when parents display obedience to God, it disciples their children toward obedience. Our marriages and our walk with Christ become our loudest witness to our children. This passage calls children to obey and honor their parents "in the Lord," while challenging fathers (and all parents) not to provoke their children but to bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

There's something profoundly beautiful about the way God designed families to work. Not just as biological units sharing the same last name, but as spiritual incubators where faith is caught as much as it's taught. The relationships between parents and children aren't merely about keeping order in the home—they're about displaying something far greater: the very nature of God's kingdom.
