Will the Next Generation Treasure Christ?

Life is a race. How you finish matters--it's the difference between heaven or hell. Have we given children the deep Biblical truths that will enable them to finish well? Pastor David Michael exhorts parents, children's workers, laypeople, and pastors to spread a vision of a great and glorious God to the next generation. There is "no greater joy" than to know children are walking in eternal salvation. Pastor Michael encourages us to prepare children to live for eternity in heaven, to nurture faith that treasures Jesus Christ. There are two messages on this album: For the Joy of the Next Generation, and No Greater Joy. CMNG (2 messages on 2 CDs)

A Father's Guide to Blessing His Children

This collection of blessings has been prepared with the hope that pronounced blessings will become as common in the Christian home as they are at the end of many church services. As a father of two daughters and the pastor for Parenting and Children's Discipleship at Bethlehem Baptist Church, David Michael is convinced that pronouncing blessings upon our children is a powerful way to plead for God's grace upon them and to give them a vision for what we hope they will become. Each blessing in this collection is based upon a biblical text and flows from a father's heart for his daughters and a pastor's heart for the children in his church.

A Vision for Ministry to Children and Their Parents

Ministry to parents and children at Bethlehem Baptist could be described by the variety of children's activities, the Sunday School structure, the curricula, or the staff. A better way to describe it is by the vision to join with parents in nurturing the faith of children so that, by God's grace, they will be well equipped to spread a passion for the supremacy of God to the next generation. This booklet is an expression of that vision and the theological and philosophical convictions that shape and support Bethlehem's ministry to parents and children. CPBV (booklet)

Preparing Young People for Baptism: Pastor's Supplement

From his heart as a pastor and father, David Michael shares his vision for churches to equip and oversee mentors as they lead their young people through baptismal preparation.
