Proverbs has much to say about raising children skillfully, and this was the topic of this past Sunday’s sermon at Sojourn.  Though this message is about parenting, it isn’t just for parents.  Raising children is all about passing on wisdom – and we all need more wisdom so the principles are definitely universal. Listen in as Pastor Daniel Montgomery explores raising children according to the Scriptures – why we discipline our kids, how we discipline our kids, and 5 key lessons all kids (and all people) must learn to live skillfully.  Grab the notes here.

“Jesus Rode Dinosaurs” Contest

January 8, 2009 in Uncategorized with 0 Comments

If you haven’t had a good laugh yet this week, check out Pastor Daniel’s latest B.C. blog post.  In honor of our teaching pastor, the SojournKids site will be sponsoring a “Jesus Rode Dinosaurs” contest for the remainder of this month.  Here is what you do.

(1) Work with your child (or teenager) and put together an artistic rendering of a Bible character riding a dinosaur.  Maybe it happened.  Maybe it didn’t.

(2) Take a digital picture of your child’s artwork.

(3) If you blog, post the picture in your blog and link here.

OR

(3) If you don’t blog, join the Sojourn Community Church Flickr group and upload your artwork there.

At the end of the month, I’ll display some of the best artwork here, and we’ll give away a Bible storybook for the top artistic rendering.
