PASSING THE BATON: GOLD MEDAL RELATIONSHIPS 1
The Power of Generational Faith
Reading for the Week of February 7-13
Day 1- 1 Tim. 1:1-2 and 1 Kings 19 (Elijah and Elisha)
Day 2- Titus 1:1-4 and 1 Thess. 2
Day 3- Ephesians 6
Day 4- Ephesians 5:22-33 and Colossians 3
Day 5- 1 Peter 3
Day 6- Proverbs 6:20-7:27
Bonus- Days 1-3 read Genesis 1-4; Days 4-6 read James
Memorize/Reflect- “Fathers (and mothers), do not exasperate your children, instead, bring them up in the training and the instruction of the Lord.” (Ephesians 6:4)
Reflection- How did my parents impact my life (for better or for worse) and what can I learn from their example?
Discussion- What is one great “Parenting Strategy” that you feel really helps kids grow healthy in life and faith?
Prayer Direction- If you are a parent, ask God to help you pass the baton of faith to your children. If you do not have children, pray for God to help you be a spiritual parent.
“Live It!” Challenge- If God has used your father or mother to bless and encourage you in your faith, call them or write a note to thank them. If they have passed away, take some time to thank God for what their life meant to you.
February Prayer Focus: Begin using the A-Z format of prayer as you reflect on various attributes and characteristics of God. Linger on the A’s- Almighty, Awesome, Amazing… and then move to the B’s- Beautiful, Bountiful…and move through the alphabet. With each attribute that comes to heart, express your thanks and praise to God!
January-March: Continue developing the discipline of fasting. If you want to go deeper in this, consider reading John Piper’s book, Hunger for God.
