Gospel-Centered Grandparenting Video Series
We love being grandparents, don’t we? Yet, how many of us have received training from the Bible on what God’s calling on us grandparents actually involves? In this four-part video series on “Gospel Centered Grandparenting” our commitment to you is to provide:
- Clear biblical teaching on the mission God has given us grandparents
- Hope in seeing how the gospel can shape the relationships we have with our grandchildren and their parents
- Help in giving practical ideas on how to improve and grow those family relationships
Session 1: What kind of training from God’s Word have you received on the ministry of grandparenting? Over 99% of Christian grandparents would say, “None!” Well, in this first session Dr. McCall will introduce us to God’s calling on us grandparents, providing hope and help from God’s Word.
Session 2: Talking to our grandchildren about being right with God is so important — but why is that important, and how do we talk to them about salvation? In this session we’ll look for clarity from the Bible in answering these eternally-important questions.
Session 3: Have you ever wondered what your grandchildren will say at your funeral about the impact you had on their lives? In this session we’ll see in the Bible how we grandparents can live our daily lives before our grandchildren in a way that demonstrates a contagious passion for Christ and his gospel.
Session 4: How might the gospel get such a grip on the hearts of our grandchildren that they want to live passionately and perseveringly for Christ, come what may in this increasingly-hostile world? What’s our role as grandparents in showing them the way of valuing Christ more than everything this world has to offer?
