Bible Text: 1 Kings 1:6 | Preacher: Pastor Joe Ricchuiti | Series: 1 Kings, The Parenting Imperative

1.  God the Father is our example in discipline (Hebrews 12:5-11)

2.  Generally speaking, disciplining children when their are young will produce a

disciplined, godly life when they are adults. (Proverbs 22:6)

3.  Parenting priorities (credit to Dr. Stanley Toussaint):

-Persons before things (we must never substitute things for ourselves, our time, our attention, our interest; the principle is “presence not presents”)

-Home before occupation (family must take priority over occupational goals)
