How to Explain Scripture with Mature Themes to Children
At The Journey, we value both worshiping together as families and faithfully preaching the whole counsel of God (Acts 20:27) through verse-by-verse exposition.
We understand that parents may be concerned how we handle passages that contain mature themes. The Bible contains passages that describe cruel acts of violence or perverse acts of sexual sin. These passages are not intended to entertain the reader but to reveal humanity’s desperate need for a Savior.
To help ease any anxiety about how we will teach these passages, we have explained in further detail how we handle preaching mature themes, and how parents can prepare their children for these conversations.
