3 Gifts to Give Your Children

As parents, we want to give our kids the best. But what if the things we’re giving them are hurting instead of helping? In this message, learn what you can give your children to prepare them for the future.

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE
Children are a gift, but let's be honest, parenting's complicated. Am I doing it right? Am I messing them up? How do I even know the difference? Let's talk about it in our new series, Parenting on Purpose.

What was the last great gift you received?

I am surrendering my life to JESUS CHRIST

[jnhn]

My grandma helped me, and she made a changed in my environment. My adjustment took a while as church came into my early life. Years later she was very emotional when I told her I was saved, but in tears when she witnessed my baptism. Today I take my knowledge and teach all children and young adult.

I was watching this video and during barely the very end my daughter calls me from life church to show me that my granddaughter, Mason Link was getting baptized. I jumped out of bed dressed ran to the car, drove to the church to get my testament, but church didn’t start a car pulls up. It’s my pastor. I told him I testament the Lord says come as you are I didn’t put no eyelashes. I didn’t brush my teeth nor deodorant, I just wanted to share my testimony about the things my granddaughters been going through the bullying to getting beat up at school she’s a cheerleader she’s a honors student and I told her people will come against you worse when you’re following Jesus, but you sound firm on your foundation his foundation

Pastor Craig, my husband and I absolutely love your sermons. We look forward to watching them every week. They speak to us so much so that we constantly listen to them each and every day. We are from Northwest Ohio and would love to see a Life Church come to our area. 🙏

[DonaldBlondell]

I was blessed to have come from a Christian household. I was in church from the age of 3 or 4. I was saved at the age of 5. I got baptized at the ages of 8 and 13. Dedicated at age 14. I was blessed to have faith believing parents. I get what Pastor Craig is saying.

[debbielinker]

This was an amazing message. As a 76-year-old grandmother, I trained my kids with these Godly principals. They didn't follow though in following Godly training for their children. I thank you for this message. May the young parents train the youth today to pick up their cross daily. Heb 11: 6 diligently seeking God.

[debbieblue]

I want to give my kids the very best gifts!

[jasonisaac]

My family came to Life Church 7 years ago. We got plugged in and all my whole family serves each week and it has truly been life changing. My kids have been baptized there and we truly have become "fully devoted followers of Christ". Our lives are completely different and it's awesome to see my kids become fully devoted to following Christ in all capacities. Thank You Life Church for your commitment to Christ and serving your local communities. Well done!

[upschutt]

Thank you for your prayers for my breakthrough to become visible to me. God is at work and I long to see what He is doing behind the scenes

[simplyfree]

This series is so helpful and a good reminder of how to instil a love of God our children and how to be a good model of faith. Thank you. Looking forward to the sermons that follow.

[Warblaaster]

I always thank God for my parents as they did all of this and more as a kid and I can say it does work. When I got into my teen years, I too feel with the wrong crowd which then in turn made me question my faith. But thanks to those roots, I never abonded God, on the contrary, when I had those doubts I seeked Him out even more which lead me to grow more and more in my faith. Don't doubt the small roots, because under the surface that are strong and will hold out against any storm.
