7:00 p.m.- 8:00 p.m. The Call to Formative Instruction - Deuteronomy 6
Formative instruction provides children with biblical ways of thinking. It is the process of instruction that
enables our children to root all of life in God's revelation in the Bible. Formative instruction is not focused
on correcting something that has gone wrong; its focus is providing ways of interpreting and responding to life that are biblical.
8:00 p.m.- 8:15 p.m. Break
8:15 p.m.- 9:15 p.m. What is a Family?
The Christian family is a theological learning center where Gods glory is on display. It is a sociological learning center where children learn to live with and love others. It is a redemptive learning center where parents stand in solidarity with the children as people who sin, are sinned against and must experience the grace of redemption working within.
Saturday Morning
8:30 a.m. - Breakfast
9:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. Living Joyfully Under Authority - Ephesians 6
Our culture thinks of authority as derived from overwhelming force or consent. We have no idea that it is good and proper for some to be in authority and for others to be under authority. Parents often, unwittingly make their children independent decision makers. When we do, we give them an appetite for a liberty that does not exist and a mistaken notion about freedom. True freedom is found in living joyfully under the authorities that God has ordained.
10:10 a.m.- 11:10 a.m. Getting to the Heart of Behavior - Proverbs 4:23
Proverbs 4 says "the heart is the well-spring of life." Luke 6 says that it is "out of the overflow of the heart that the mouth speaks." If behavior flows from the heart, then we cannot think about behavior biblically without reference to the heart. This teaching will equip us to help our children see how behavior that has strayed reflects a heart that has strayed.
11:20 a.m.- 12:30 p.m. Corrective Discipline
Corrective discipline is responding to our children when something has gone wrong. Galatians 6 provides us
with the sowing and reaping principle of Scripture. We must learn to shape consequences not to control and constrain behavior, but as a means of underscoring the enduring truth of the Word of God. The Proverbs provide patterns for the Godly communication that is the means of bringing this life-engaging truth to our children.
