November 14, 2021 - counter//əɹnʇlnɔ: Who’s the Boss?

This may have been one of the most practical series we have done on parenting.   We have talked about how quickly our families can fall away from pursuing Jesus, we talked about the spiritual war going on for our families, the influence of media on our families and today we are talking about one of the most difficult issues facing families—discipline and authority in a message called WHO’S THE BOSS?

November 7, 2021 - counter//əɹnʇlnɔ: Rewiring Our Brains

Last week Matthew shared about going to spiritual war for your family.  If there is a front line in the battle for our children it would be media.   Media has become our default.   We have become addicted to reality shows that are the furthest thing from reality.   Media in one form or another has become a surrogate parent for many of our children.   What are the long term effects of over indulgence in media?  What happens to a child who spends 4-6 hours a day on some form of media?   
 
When it comes to technology and media the Bible doesn’t have any specific verses that mention media or technology.  So as a follower of Jesus we begin to look for principles that apply to our lives.  That is what we are going to do today—what principles does Bible give us for raising a Jesus follower in a post Christian culture?

October 31, 2021 - counter//əɹnʇlnɔ: Our Children Are At War

I don't know how strong in the faith and bold and courageous your children, or even your friends children are, but I do know this: At some point, our children, will experience some really scary difficulties, hardships, and battles. However, God doesn’t want you to be overwhelmed in caring for them. He wants you to be confident in what He can do through your willingness to be obedient to Him and His Word. AND ultimately, He wants your children to be full of faith and confident in God’s ultimate victory.
 
The title of today's message is this: Our children are at war.
The truth of today's message is this: We can’t help our children win their war, when we fight the wrong battles.

October 24, 2021- counter//əɹnʇlnɔ: What Are You Worshiping?

Every year we do a parenting series that is one of most requested series we do. We do that because parenting is tough. But the reality of the world in which we live is that if you are going to raise a child to follow Jesus the job of parenting is becoming tougher by the moment. There was a time when culture worked with you to raise a child who honored God and pursued faith. Those days are over.   At this point in our world culture is working against you, not with you to raise a follower of Jesus.   Our world has changed. That led us to name this series COUNTER CULTURE:  RAISING A FOLLOWER OF JESUS IN A POST CHRISTIAN CULTURE. I’m going to tell you that this series will probably make you uncomfortable, at the same time I will tell you that it may be one of the most important series we have ever done on parenting.
