Turning The Tables On Your Kids

Have your kids ever reminded you of one of your “sermons”. It’s quite convicting, especially if you are not practicing your own preaching. When this happens I feel like saying something like “It’s not your job to preach to me" but I usually end up eating humble pie. Here's my point: When you preach the Word it forces you to be a doer of the Word.

Why not turn the tables on your kids? Ask your kids to lead devotions from time to time. Let them decide what Bible Story to read. Let your kids do the preaching. It’s a little bit risky, but it’s worth the risk. When your kids preach the word it forces them to be doers of the word, and you can have great fun turning the tables on your kids when you challenge them to live their sermons.
