Disciple-ing Your Grandchildren

Group: Faith and Practice Series

In Room 201

Led by Dr. Tim Smith

Sundays, January 10-31

In the modern West, retirement is sometimes looked at as slowing down, doing less and doing what you want. But what does God want from us as we retire? Throughout the Bible, the older generation is charged with spiritual responsibility. Seniors are given honor and wisdom that is meant to be passed on to others. Psalm 78:4 says, “We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord.” Grandparents are meant to be spiritual stewards, not spectators. You’re not a backup parent. You’re a living witness, having seen God’s faithfulness over decades. You’ve walked through loss, waited through silence, and rejoiced in mercy. But how do you disciple your grandchildren? It starts with seeing your role differently: not as “retired,” but re-assigned. Through this study, you will learn how crucial your role as a grandparent really is, be motivated to invest in your most important legacy and learn many wonderful practical helps on how just to do that.
