These questions are a guideline for your personal or small group study based on Sunday's sermon passage. Feel free to study and meditate on the passage more deeply. ​

1. Read Deuteronomy 6:6-9.  What are those things that we are commanded to do in this passage?

2. Pastor Randy stated that when it comes to parenting, "More is caught than taught".  What does this statement mean?  How does this reflect those things that we are commanded in Deuteronomy 6?

3. Psalm 127:4 "Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth."  What comparisons can you make between arrows in the hand of a warrior and children?  If children are the arrows, then parents are the warriors.  What comparisons can you make between parents and warriors?

4. Read Joshua 24:14-16.  In these three verses, the word "serve" or some form of it is used 8 times.  What does it mean to serve the Lord?  How can you improve in serving the Lord?

5. Read Proverbs 22:6.  Does this verse mean that our children will never go astray?  What can we do if our children do go astray?

6. If we do not have biological children then we should have spiritual children.  All of us, whether biological parents or not, should be pouring into someone and have someone pouring into us.  Who in your life could you ask to disciple you?  Who in your life could you disciple?
