Overview

Materialism permeates our everyday life. Commercials, magazines, and
the internet blare societal values that are distinctly worldly, not
godly. As a result, many of us have far more possessions than we
actually need or use, and this tendency to accumulate things sends the
wrong message to our kids.

Ever heard the expression "values are caught, not taught"? We need to
walk the truth before our children, not simply share it with them.
This four-session course brings us back to basic truths and helps you
grapple with how to teach children biblical values such as sacrifice,
generosity, and stewardship in an age of abundance.


Session 1 - Model Gratefulness
Without knowing God's truth, children can grow up to look like the
world around them.
As parents, we want to do all we can to shape these impressionable
lives God has given us. Without knowing God's truth, children can grow
up to look like the world around them. Use this study to learn how to
avoid having entitled children.

Session 2 - Teach Contentment
In a materialistic world, it is important to satisfy the needs of our
children without spoiling them.
How can parents find a balance between a monastic life and
materialism? Do we meet basic needs or satisfy every want? Are we
living a Christ-like life of sacrifice or have we compromised for the
sake of the kids? This Bible study will help you answer these
questions.

Session 3 - Teach Perspective
Combat materialism by teaching your children about great people of
faith who have made deliberate choices.
How do we teach our children biblical values such as sacrifice,
generosity, and stewardship in an age of abundance? This study
addresses those questions by bringing us back to basic truths and
reminding us of how heroes of the faith have lived out biblical values
in a countercultural way.

Session 4 - Model Compassion
Grow children who reach out to people in need.
Here's the understatement of the year: Raising kids is a big job. How
do we deal with all the urgent stuff and still get to the important
stuff, like developing kids of faith, character, and compassion? This
study will help you show your kids that God has a heart for those in
need.
