7/14/26 12N Bible Study

Main message: Parents never stop parenting; children of every age continually need seven kinds of support from their parents—ways parents shape who their children become, what they receive, how they think, what they know, how they connect, and how parents show up for them. The pastor urged parents to intentionally provide influence, inheritance, insight, instruction, interaction, investment, and involvement, all grounded in faith in God.

Key points:

• Influence — parents model adulthood and shape who their children become (example matters more than words).
• Inheritance — children receive more than money: attitudes, emotional regulation, work ethic, relationships; parents should prepare what they leave in and for them.
• Insight — teach children how to think from a God-centered perspective (give perspective before solutions).
• Instruction — intentionally teach values and practical life skills (not just correction), e.g., budgeting, biblical standards.
• Interaction & involvement — maintain honest conversations, presence at ordinary and milestone moments, and model healthy relationships and boundaries.
• Investment — invest time and attention; whatever you invest in grows and signals what you truly value.
