The most powerful sermons your children will ever hear won’t come from a stage. They’ll come from your table, your car rides, your prayers over scraped knees and whispered bedtime blessings. God never meant discipleship to happen once a week in a classroom. He designed it to happen every day—in your home.
Our springboard for today’s discussion is:
"Teach them diligently to your children..." — Deuteronomy 6:7
God speaks clearly to parents in Deuteronomy 6: teach your children His ways diligently. That word doesn’t mean perfectly. It means persistently. Consistently. Over time. In the ordinary rhythms of life.
Faith is not caught through occasional moments of inspiration—it’s caught through steady exposure to truth.
Here’s what that looks like practically:
Reading Scripture aloud as a family—not for performance, but for presence.
Speaking God’s promises when your child is afraid.
Praying out loud before meals and before decisions.
Talking about God in the context of everyday life—not just Sunday mornings.
Your home is your most sacred mission field. And whether you realize it or not, your children are being discipled by someone or something. If we’re not intentional, the world will fill the silence we’ve left behind.
You don’t have to be a Bible scholar. You just have to be available. What matters is not your eloquence—it’s your obedience.
When God’s Word is normal in your home, your children learn that God is not distant—He’s daily.
Question of the Day:
How are you currently discipling your children—and what simple habit can you start today?
Mini Call to Action:
Choose one time—breakfast, drive-time, bedtime—and begin reading one verse together each day. Keep it simple. Keep it consistent.
Let’s Pray:
Father, help me disciple my children with purpose. Let our home be filled with Your presence and shaped by Your truth. Give me courage to lead, speak, and model the life of faith You've called us to live. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Let’s Get To Work!
Discipleship doesn’t begin in church—it begins at home.
