Raising The Next Generation – Part 3: Developing Respect

In his sermon "Raising the Next Generation," Pastor Scott Eynon teaches that parents are primarily responsible for developing respect in their children, not outsourcing this vital role. He emphasizes the critical difference between punishment (anger-based, past-focused) and discipline (love-based, future-focused), while introducing the principle that "relationship plus rules equals respect." As Pastor Scott reminds us from 1 Peter 4:8, "Love covers over a multitude of sins," showing that consistent, loving discipline is the foundation for raising respectful children.
