07/05/2026 8:15am Service - Positive Provisions From Parents - 1 Chronicles 28:8-10

Main message: Parents are called to provide positive provisions for their children by giving a clear blueprint (teaching), a visible footprint (modeling), and an enduring imprint (spiritual influence), trusting God's mercy and faithfulness as they do the work God commands. Even if children make mistakes, parents are responsible to follow God's instructions and leave a legacy of faith.

Key points:

• Train your children: Proverbs 22:6 is the month's theme—teach children the way they should go so they inherit God's blessing.
• Blueprint, footprint, imprint: Give instruction (blueprint), model godly behavior (footprint), and intentionally impact your children (imprint); without these, cultural or family patterns may be lost.
• Follow God's commands: 1 Chronicles 28:8–10 charges obedience and wholehearted service so you "possess the good land" God provides.
• Trust God's mercy and faithfulness: Lamentations 3:22–23 reminds believers that God's mercies and compassion are new every morning and His faithfulness is great.
• Practical Christian parenting: connect with other mature believers, put learned truths into practice (Philippians 4:9), and rely on Christ's strength and provision (Philippians 4:13, 4:19).
