2011 Retreat Sessions:  "Characteristics of a Godly Father"
by R.C. Sproul, Jr.

• The Goal of the Christian Family

  Working from Genesis 1 and 2 this talk will consider the true nature and calling of the family, not just how or why but where husbands/fathers are to lead their families. 

• More Precious Than Rubies

  Working from Ephesians 5 this talk will consider the calling of the husband/father to be about the business of serving the Spirit in sanctifying his wife and children, reflecting, though not of course replacing the three-fold office of Christ as prophet, priest and king. 

• The First Command with a Promise

  Working from Ephesians 6 this talk will consider the calling of children to submit to and honor their parents, and how this is the very pathway of blessing established by God. 

• Family Worship

  Working off the first question of the Westminster Shorter Catechism this talk will explore both the hows and the whys of practicing family worship.
