Legacy Families
Parents First
Deuteronomy 6:1-3
What is a legacy?
Once you have a family, you have a legacy. (Psalm 78:1-8)
Your role as a parent or grand-parent is to:
1. Be a Godly (Deuteronomy 6:1-2a)
Two Questions to consider: (Ephesians 5:15-16)
- You are a model, but are you being a Godly model?
- You are the greatest influence in your child’s life, but what is influencing you as a parent?
2. Live out your faith. (Deuteronomy 6:2b)
Two actions to employ:
- It’s a daily discipline.
- Lead yourself as you build up your family.
3. Demonstrate (Deuteronomy 6:3)
One confession to embody:
“I am not a perfect, but I can be perfected in Christ.”
Final Thought: Be intentional about passing on a biblical legacy in your family.
