The Grace of Criticism

God With Us: Jesus and the Fig Tree

We never knew we could love someone as much as we love our children. The thought of losing them or hurting them can be overwhelming. The thought of having to watch them grow up and have a hard life can be just as difficult. Every parenting fork in the road is accompanied by fear. Are you a fearful parent?

Fear in Parenting

Do you typically parent out of your past experiences? "I don't want to do this thing my parent's did..." or "I missed out on this, so I want my kids to have a part in doing..." fill in the blank. How often to we look to scripture and prayerfully lead our kids individually in the ways of the Lord and his leading on their lives? Listen to our Family Discipleship and Student Minister, Matt Bowles, as he encourages parents to lean into the Lord and his leading for your kids and their lives. 

Missing the Future Because of the Past

Has there been a time in your life as parents where you feel like you have failed your kids because you keep forgetting to have family bible time? Often times most of us struggle off and on with spiritual discipline. You have the best intentions but life happens and it slips your mind and you forget. Listen to our Children's Minister, Donald Jackson, as he shares tips on how to have intentional time in God's word with your family.

Family Bible Time

The truth is when we place the hope of joy and happiness that I should be finding in our relationship with Christ on our kids, that's a huge weight that will crush little shoulders. But when Christ is all, then we am free to discipline our children in righteousness because our identity is not wrapped up in them.

Placing A God-Sized Weight on Little Shoulders

This week our Family Discipleship video is over how to have a prayerful life individually and as a family. Listen to Donald Jackson as he shares way to be intentional as a family to prayerfully come before the Lord!

Having A Prayerful Life

We live in a culture where there are many things that pull us away from quality time with our families. You are not alone. We have found that quantity time is just as important as quality time. All your kids really need is you.

Money In The Bank

As parents, we're sure you all have witnessed your kids being influenced by one of their friends. You're sitting at the dinner room table having dinner when all of the sudden you hear your kid say something that you have never heard before. Something that was either inappropriate, sinful, or just out of the norm. And you wonder: “Where did my child get this word from?" or "Who is putting these ideas and words into their head?”

Influences Within Friendships

One of the more damaging things that has happened to American Christianity is the idea that you have to be relevant in order to work with kids.

Relational Vs. Relevant

This segment is called Deeper things for Little souls. Can your children understand the deeper things of faith? The answer is yes and even preschoolers can learn and understand deeper concepts. Listen to Teresa Prendergast to find out how you can begin telling your kids about the Gospel.

Deeper Things For Little Souls

How should we present technology to our kids? What about using it as a tool to connect with our kids? Listen to our Children's Minister, Donald Jackson, as he shares insights on how to deal with technology amongst your kids.

Technology Amongst Kids

We say all the time that parents are the primary discipler of their kids. However, that statement has so many emotions attached to it. If I’m having a bad day and my walk with the Lord has not been strong, it makes me think about how terrible of a job I am probably doing. I want to say “Lord, are you sure I am the guy?”

Asking The Right Questions

Why should the church have Wednesday Night discipleship for students? Listen to our Student Minister Matt Bowles explain the importance of Wednesday Night Ministries for our students. 

Why Wednesday?

Ovilla Road believes in equipping our parents to disciple their kids in the truth of the gospel. ORBC's Family Ministry wants to provide the resources parents need to come alongside their kids as they grow in knowing their Savior, Jesus Christ.
