Pastor Chris Meads teaches from the Book of Proverbs on the importance of imparting wisdom and the fear of the Lord to children. He emphasizes that the greatest need for children is not external success but an internal transformation through godly instruction. Chris highlights that all children are born with a propensity for folly and sin, which requires wise parental guidance to discipline. He distinguishes biblical discipline from mere punishment, explaining that discipline aims to protect children from the consequences of sin and redirect them toward life. Chris calls on parents, teachers, and the church family to commit themselves to this high calling of imparting wisdom to the younger generations, acknowledging the need for God's help to depart from focusing solely on external behavior or disciplining out of anger. The goal is to show children the supremacy of Christ through lives centered on the fear of the Lord.
