Winning the Heart of Your Child

Dec. 7, 2020

Rob Tart explains in this video that one of the most important things that a parent should work towards is to win the heart of their child. If they do not have the heart of their child, it is very difficult to maintain a harmonious relationship with a child and to pursue shared goals together. To win the heart of a child, parents need to listen, care for their children, and affirm them when applicable. Proverbs 17:22 (NKJV) - "A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones."

Nov. 4, 2020

The Life of Abraham

Jan. 8, 2021

Rob Tart explains in this video that Abraham regularly communed with God and was a man of God, even though he had his sins and faults. He walked by faith and not by sight, even when God called him to do things that were incredibly difficult to do. Galatians 3:6-9 (NKJV) - "[J]ust as Abraham 'believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.' Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, 'In you all the nations shall be blessed.' So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham."

David as a Father

Oct. 1, 2020

Rob Tart explains in this video that even though he had many faults, David did many things well. He was a man after God's heart and he prepared his son, Solomon, to take over the throne after he died. That is something that fathers today can learn from the life of David. David showed humility and love for his son. 1 Samuel 16:13 (NKJV) - "Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel arose and went to Ramah."
