The Family: God's Bible School

INTRODUCTION: Judges 2:10. How did this happen? Notice the responsibility of parents: Exodus 10:2; 12: 24-27; Deut. 6: 20-25; Jos. 4:6; Ps. 48: 12-14; 78:5-7; Joel 1: 1-3.

I.         WHEN YOUR CHILDREN ASK, "WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS DAY?"

A.      Under the Law they surely asked this about the Sabbath (Ex. 20:8-11; Deut. 5:12-15).

B.     Now a new day has dawned. Why is the first day of the week different? Luke 24: 1-3, 7, 13, 21; A lesson in type (Lev. 23: 11, Christ is the first fruits of the dead, I Cor. 15:20) vv. 15-16, the Feast of weeks or Pentecost, Church established on first day of the week. Acts 20:7; I Cor. 16:1,2.

II.       WHEN YOUR CHILDREN ASK, "WHY ARE YOU EATING THOSE CRACKERS AND DRINKING JUICE?"

A.      Matt. 26: 26-30

B.     I Cor. 11: 23-26. Teach them the significance of this symbolic meal.

III.      WHEN YOUR CHILDREN ASK, "WHY IS THAT PERSON GETTING DUNKED?"

A.      Matt. 3: 5-7, 13-15. He is following the Lord in obedience.

B.     He is entering into a relationship with Christ (Gal. 3:26,27).

C.     He is being saved from his sins (I Peter 3:21).

D.     He is being buried and raised with Christ (Rom. 6:3,4).

IV.       WHEN YOUR CHILDREN ASK, "WHY ARE YOU PAYING THAT MONEY?"

A.      Teach your children that God does not need our money, but He allows us to invest in heavenly things (Matt. 6:19-21), and to be workers together in His kingdom.
