This meeting was held at Joe Bosch's house. An extra meeting was scheduled so that part 2 of The Calling Out of Sons (March 2003) wouldn't be left until the next season.

The Calling Out of Sons: Part 2

• What insights can we gain from God's Word about how to call out our sons?
  1. By the age of 12, a son needs to be involved with his dad. The world and man's sin nature advise independence from dad and continued reliance upon mom. Luke 2:41-32
  2. A father needs to establish his son's identity with himself and his father's house. The world and man's sin nature will seek to provide an identity apart from his father. Luke 3:21-38
  3. A father needs to be his son's source, to prepare the way for God being the source of his life. The world and man's sin nature teaches that anything but God is a source of life. Luke 4:1
  4. A father needs to lead his son to be attentive to, depend upon, and obey his every word. The world and man's sin nature says be independent and trust in yourself. Luke 4:2-4
  5. A father must lead his son to confront his body's lusts and wait on God's word and God's timing. The world and man's sin nature says don't wait. Indulge yourself. Be comfortable. Don't go without. Luke 4:2-4
  6. A father must lead his son to confront the greed of his heart and wait on God's provision in God's timing. The world and man's sin nature rationalizes a short cut to get possessions. Luke 4:5-8
  7. A father must lead his son to confront his pride and his sinful desire to glorify himself. The world and man's sinful nature seek a short cut to glory--put on a show for all the world to see rather than wait on God's timing and way to exalt you. Luke 4:9-12
  8. A father must lead his son to confront his own powerlessness and look to God for power. The world and a man's sinful nature lead him to believe he has the power to do anything--anytime. Luke 4:13-14
• Application
  1. Have you realized that God the Father is calling you to Himself through the words and life of Jesus Christ?
  2. Bow before the heavenly Father and acknowledge His presence and give him the place of honor as God, the Father, of our Lord Jesus Christ.
  3. To what have you been calling out your son?
