Session 02: Discipline for Delight in Love | Manny Pereira | Parenting for Christ’s Praise | To God’s Glory and the Joy of Our Families | September 27, 2025 | Trinity Bible Church, Morgan Hill, CA | trinitybiblechurch.org
Session two explores biblical principles of parenting, emphasizing discipline as a loving and formative process. The session highlights the need to require obedience, serve as an authority, restrain evil, act with self-control, guard a child’s dignity, pursue their delight, and proclaim the gospel. Practical approaches are detailed, urging parents to discipline in God’s stead, with love, righteousness, knowledge, prayer, faith, gentleness, firmness, and consistency—all for the child’s good, repentance, joy, and God’s glory. The session closes by reminding parents that parenting for Christ’s praise is more about the parent’s obedience than the child’s. It focuses on the parenting rather than the outcome. Godly parenting is not about guaranteed results; it is about obedience to God in parenting.
