Portrait of a Godly Family (Equip) | Lesson 1: God’s purpose for the family

Much can go wrong inside a family – and much often does! As parents, we fail in many ways to love, teach and discipline our children. Children fail in many ways to love, obey and honour their parents. These failings can lead to much heartache, conflict and discouragement for the whole family. But our heavenly Father paints us a beautiful picture in His Word of what a Godly family looks like. And He gives us His Holy Spirit to transform us and our families towards that picture, as we seek to honour Him. Jesus Christ came to show us His Father and His perfect love for His children.

Parents and future parents, this class is for you. Come and admire our Father’s portrait of a Godly family and be equipped to imitate that portrait in your family. Topics will include God’s purpose for the family, worship, the heart, obedience, discipline, gender roles and technology.

Teachers: Hadyn Bernau and Steve Dunham
