• G1 Read Proverbs 13:24, 22:15. How can a lack of discipline / training be equated with “hating your child”?
• G2 Read Proverbs 23:14-14. How can implementing discipline save your child from death?
• G3 Why should the verse about discipline never be read without Proverbs 14:26? Would you consider your kids to view your home as a refuge? Why or why not? How does Ephesians 6:4 help us create a good environment of training / discipline?
• G4 Children / teens, how can you bring joy to your parents (Proverbs 10:1)? In which ways do you bring grief? What do you need to change in your life to be a joy-bringer?
• G5 God is our example of perfect Fatherhood. What does Hebrews 12:7+10 show us for the reasons God disciplines us?
• G7 Jesus is our example of perfect Sonhood. What does Philippian 2:8 and Hebrews 5:8-9 show us about Jesus’ attitude towards being a son, and what are the benefits that WE reap from His obedience?
