Session 3: Planting Seeds of Faith - Reading God's Word with Your Children

This session invites us into a transformative truth: our children are not just our responsibility—they're our closest neighbors, entrusted to us by God himself. The message centers on biblical literacy and intentionality in raising children who are deeply rooted in Scripture. Drawing from Deuteronomy 6:4-9, we're reminded that God's Word should permeate every aspect of our family life—when we sit at home, walk along the road, lie down, and get up. The session challenges us to move beyond simply hearing God's Word on Sundays to becoming families who live, breathe, and model Scripture daily. What's particularly compelling is the agricultural imagery from Genesis 1:11 and Psalm 128, which compares our children to olive shoots around our table. Just as olive trees are resilient, growing even in rocky soil and lasting for centuries, our faithful seed-planting in our children's lives will produce fruit that endures. This session doesn't promise perfection—in fact, it celebrates the messy, real-life moments of parenting while emphasizing that faith is often caught, not just taught. Our children are watching whether we value God's Word ourselves, whether we have our Bibles open, whether we're meeting with the Lord before the chaos of the day begins. This isn't about creating more religious activities; it's about creating rhythms where Scripture naturally flows through our homes, transforming us first so we can guide our children toward the Savior they desperately need.
