Marriages & Relationships with Children

Chardonnay

Matthew 6:1-2 Praying God’s will be done regarding our marriages and families.

This breakout session will have two sections. The first will be looking at God’s will for marriage focusing on how husbands and wives can honor the Lord in the way they love, serve, and treat one another. From Ephesians 5:25 and 33, participants will learn how husbands are called to love their wives as Christ loved the church and how wives are called to respect their husbands in the Lord. From Matthew 6, participants will be reminded to seek first God’s Kingdom, pray for His will to be done, and trust Him for their daily needs as they grow in their relationship with Him.

The second section will focus on parents being called to sow seeds of faithfulness. In Galatians 6:1–10, Paul encourages the church to restore one another gently, carry one another’s burdens, and not grow weary in doing good, knowing that in due season they will reap a harvest if they do not give up. We can make application to parenting in this, as parents are called to lovingly guide, restore, carry their children’s burdens, and persevere in doing good for their children.
