In "When They Wander,” the final part of the Kingdom Parents series, we look at Luke 15:11–32 and the heart of a parent when a child chooses a different path. When our children wander, we’re called to turn to the Lord, trust Him, draw near to Him, and take wise, loving action without giving up hope. No matter how far they may go, we can keep praying, resting in God, and believing this truth: it may be too late for prevention, but it’s never too late for redemption.

In this sermon, we explore Jesus’ teaching in Luke 5:37–38 about new wine and new wineskins. God desires His church to be filled and flowing with the presence of Christ, but experiencing the fullness of His presence requires us to become new wineskins—flexible enough to respond to what God is doing, functional in carrying His mission, and filled with His presence. The question isn’t simply whether we have new wine, but whether we are prepared to hold it and release it to the world around us.

In this message from Kingdom Parents: Raising Disciples, Not Just Good Kids, we discover that biblical discipline is correction driven by love, designed to help children understand that choices have consequences. We explore common parenting pitfalls—rescuing from consequences, inconsistent boundaries, and a lack of unity—and what disciplined Kingdom parenting should look like. Kingdom parents pursue cheerful obedience, discipline without anger, and timely correction that includes instruction and reconciliation, helping their children learn to live under God’s authority.
