Summary:
Teachers are subject to stricter judgement. Being subject to a stricter judgement means to be strict with ourselves, even before being strict with the children. 3 Biblical points that RE teachers should demand of themselves:
- We need to be properly taught
- We need to be like Jesus - be exemplary in humility and service; love them as our own children
- Don’t be their limiting factor - push them, pull them, encourage them to go along with us to reach the standard of Christ together

Summary:
Our children are a heritage given to us by God and so we need to give account to God. This sermon touches on the importance of religious education - to nurture our childrens’ lives so that Christ is formed in them.
To do this, our own conduct and spirituality must be good, to set an example for them. In these last days, let us be watchful of our souls and the souls of our children, that we may be saved.
