Duty of Kids and Parents - Colossians
*** Due to technical issues there is no audio for this sermon.
Around the table:
Share a time about when you were disobedient as a child.
Do you tend to break a rule if you aren’t aware of it, you disagree with it, or because you don’t respect the person who made the rule?

Do you lean more toward being a rule breaker or a rule follower?
What are some ways that parents can embitter, provoke, or discourage their children?
