Dad’s And Their Children - Finding Nemo
Keep your finger in both and Eph. 6.
& Ephesians 6
20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.
Hook is the First Part of the Nemo Story
Hook is the First Part of the Nemo Story
-Dad and mom clown fish live in the ocean in the sea anemone
-After an attack by a barricuda
-They are left with a son (Nemo) who has a small disability, one of his fins is smaller than normal, lucky fin.
-Dad is overprotective - helicopter dad
-He always tells his son to never ever swim out in open water.
Always stay on the reef.
Always stay close.
-One day at school the little boy clownfish named Nemo is dared by a classmate to swim up (into the big open ocean) to a nearby boat and touch it.
He wants to prove himself.
He swims and touches the boat, but is netted by a scuba diver and taken away.
-The rest of the movie is about how Nemo was found and reconnected with his father.
-The whole movie is focused around the father child relationship.
Transition - Dad’s we have a very unique relationship with our children.
Our relationship with our kids and grandchildren is very influential.
Our children listen closely and watch our lives.
It is interesting that in the scripture that Dads are given more instruction on children then moms are.
Maybe it’s because moms are natural caregivers.
Which in many cases is true.
Maybe it’s because Dads have blindspots and because of our influence.
Grandparents and grand dads.
Don’t disregard the influence you have on your family!
...
Today we look at the relationships first between Dad, Mom and Child - but will get to this unique Father Child relationship.
I. Children Obey Your Parents In Everything
Col
Eph 6
20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.
The command, “Children obeying your parents...” begs the question, Who are children?
Colossians
Eph 6:1-2
The command, “Children obeying your parents...” begs the question, Who are these children?
Eph
The command, “Children obeying your parents...” begs the question, Who are children?
This begs the question who are children?
Children are anyone who’s parents are still paying bills for them.
Dependent Children
The command, “Children obeying your parents...” begs the question, Who are children?
Children are anyone who’s parents are still paying bills for them.
This verse applies to you - If your parents are covering any one of these items your: car insurance, cell phone bill, food, gas, rent, school tuition - you are still under their authority of your parents.
The legal age of 18 only allows you 2 things:
-If your parents are covering any one of these items your: car insurance, cell phone bill, food, gas, rent, school tuition - you are still under their authority.
The legal age of 18 only allows you 2 things:
a) the right to vote,
b) 20 years in jail if you kill someone while you drive.
The bible doesn’t give adulthood an age.
Adulthood is attained when you have taken on both the privileges and the responsibilities of an adult.
99% of the time that happens after some kind of school (college or tech school) and when you are out paying your bills.
Thee is a blessing in being a child.
Umbrella of protections of being under parents authority (Umbrella) BRING AN UMBRELLA THAT WORKS.
Blessing of training -
Discipling in the Bible, Love and know God
Practical skills how to live and have good relationships
Blessing of protection
-physical protection in a safe home.
-Spiritual protection from a wise leader in making a big mistake and messing up your life.
There is a blessing being under your parents authority and obeying them.
Illustration - Spiritual Darkness, (picture)
In our life there is spiritual darkness around us.
each parent, grandparent, family member holds a candle with you in the darkness.
This is a blessing
Children, God has placed parents in your lives to help you and to love you.
There is no such thing as a perfect parent.
Parents will and do makes mistakes.
There will be times you will have to forgive them.
The scripture tells us that it pleases God when you obey your parents.
Obey them in what?
tells us, “In everything.”
Let me share with you a very challenging truism.
The degree to how well you are obeying your parents many times gives you an idea of how well you are following and obeying God.
Why?
Our hearts like to rebel.
We like to have it our way.
It please the Lord when you obey your parents.
Transition - Paul changes the subject from children to parents or fathers.
Transition -
2. I must be sure to encourage my children and not provoke them.
4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
Address the word “Fathers”.
Paul uses the word Father in this passage because of the context and the culture at this time.
In the original language the word for parents is used.
It is very fair to apply this verse to both mom and dad.
C
Fathers do not:
Provoke (ESV), exasperate (NASV & Holman), Embitter (NIV), aggravate (NLT)
Be careful about taking unnecessary action that illicits a negative emotional response.
Illustration - Dancing at the 5th grade chorus at the PTA meeting.
When Karis my oldest child was in 5th grade her class chorus was singing at a PTA meeting.
I was standing in the back.
We aggravate by teasing and playing too much.
We provoke by using our anger as power.
We provoke by joking or teasing to much .... or by using our anger as power.
We exasperate by having unrealistic expectations.
We embitter by giving funny cut downs and not regularly having encouraging words.
