Parent Guilt: Dealing With The Weight Of Parenting

4 Weeks

Big Idea of the Series

The Bible encourages believers to understand parenting as a picture of the gospel. Humans were created for connection. The gospel is the story of how God is reconnecting with us through love, empowering us for his work, and correcting us for a restorative purpose. Likewise, the Christian parent will seek to connect with their child to meet their needs; empower their child for mission and formation through meeting their needs; and discipline their child with a restorative goal. And even when the Christian parent feels shame for not getting it right every time, there is always grace-based hope for repairing the rupture.

Using This Series Guide

What is the Series Guide?

The Series Guide is a comprehensive resource designed to help you lead your congregation through this sermon series. It includes weekly sermon outlines, discussion questions, and key theological insights to support your teaching preparation.

Each guide has been thoughtfully crafted to provide you with both depth and flexibility as you prepare your messages.

This series includes 4 weeks of content.

What is the Series Guide Not?

The Series Guide is not a word-for-word sermon script. It's not meant to replace your own study and preparation, but rather to complement it with additional resources and structure.

It also doesn't include all media assets - those are available in the downloads section.

How Do I Use this Series Guide?

We recommend starting with the series overview to understand the big picture themes. Then, for each week, review the scripture passages, main points, and illustrations provided.

Use the discussion questions for small groups or to spark your own thinking. Feel free to adapt any content to fit your congregation's specific needs and context.
