Parenting 1 Corinthians 10:31-11:1 | Luke Dahlenburg


Parenting is hard. Parents feel overwhelmed, lonely and inadequate. BUT Jesus gives more grace (James 4:6).

What do you think makes someone a successful parent?

Outcomes and Inputs = Parenting is helping the next generation know, love and glorify God in Christ.

1. Parent the glory of God’s story (10:31)

  • The outcome determines the parenting.

2. Parent the Value of Jesus (10:32-33)

  • The greatest gift you can give your children is Christ.

3. Parent through Gospel Influence (11:1)

  • Children become what they see.
  • Grandparents = Psalm 71:18. The goal doesn’t change; the role does.
