Foundation for the Future - Creating a Future

Foundation for the Future – Creating a Future

Creative family - Ephesians 6:4, 3:14-21

Creative:
  1.  having the quality and power of creating
  2.  resulting from originality of thought, imaginative 

“in the training and admonition of the Lord” is a goal worthy of both definitions

Training means there is a specific:
         goal
         methodology
         result

Training’s Goal:
“for this reason” – “that you may be filled with all of the fullness of God”

Goal: To train your children so when they are adults, they will walk with Jesus and influence others to do the same.
