If the next generation is going to follow Jesus for a lifetime, they need more than religious habits. They need to know how deeply God loves them and see that love lived out consistently in the people closest to them.

In this Raise Them Up message, Pastor Rod Sundholm teaches about God’s love, Christian parenting, forgiveness, walking in love, spiritual maturity, and raising children in faith. Through 1 John 4, Luke 6, Romans 5:8, and other Scriptures, you’ll learn why your relationship with God should influence the way you speak, correct, forgive, and respond to others. You’ll be encouraged to model a faith that is real, relational, and strong enough for the next generation to make their own.

How do you raise children who can eventually make wise, godly decisions for themselves? In this Raise Them Upmessage, Rev. Karen Salisbury shares a biblical approach to Christian parenting and discipleship built around five stages: love, lead, train, correct, and release.

You’ll learn why children need both unconditional love and healthy boundaries, how your example shapes their faith, why responsibility and character must be intentionally developed, and how your role changes as they grow. Whether you are raising children, mentoring young people, or simply helping shape the next generation through your church family, this message will encourage you to lead them toward spiritual maturity, self-discipline, and a lasting relationship with God.

What do you do when you know what God’s Word says, but your circumstances still look unchanged? In The Key to Victory, Pastor Rebecca Sundholm teaches you how to strengthen your faith by meditating on Scripture, confessing God’s promises, holding fast without wavering, and speaking victory over what you are facing.

Through passages including Hebrews 4:14, Hebrews 10:23, James 1:5–6, Romans 8:37, and 1 John 4:4, you’ll learn practical biblical principles for overcoming doubt, standing in faith, and keeping your heart anchored in the Word of God. Pastor Rebecca also shares personal testimonies of healing and perseverance that illustrate what it looks like to keep believing when the answer is not yet visible.

What kind of adults are you raising your children to become? In this Raise Them Up message, David Kubota uses Abraham and Isaac’s journey in Genesis 22 to challenge you to raise children who know God personally, trust His voice, develop resilience, and are willing to follow Him even when obedience requires sacrifice.

You’ll learn how intentional parenting, modeling your faith, consistently speaking encouragement and godly identity over your children, and giving them opportunities to develop responsibility can help prepare the next generation to “carry their own wood.” You’ll also be challenged to examine your own discipleship and ask whether you are willing to surrender your plans, take up your cross, and fully follow Jesus.

What does spiritual maturity really look like? In The Greatest of These, Hannah Wisneski teaches how Christian love, forgiveness, faith, and spiritual maturity are deeply connected, and why your ability to walk in love affects the way you receive from God and represent Jesus to others.

Through 1 Corinthians 13, Galatians 5:6, Luke 6, and Matthew 5, you’ll be challenged to examine your heart, let go of unforgiveness, choose humility, believe the best in others, and make things right when relationships are broken. If you want to grow as a mature believer, strengthen your faith, reach people with the love of God, and live out biblical forgiveness in everyday relationships, this message will help you take practical steps forward.

Your legacy is being built by the choices you make today. In this message from the Raise Them Up series, Pastor Nate Rauschert encourages you to look beyond temporary success and ask what kind of spiritual inheritance you are leaving for your children, grandchildren, and the people God has placed in your life.

As you listen, you’ll be challenged to seek God’s Kingdom first, invest in people, pray for the next generation, trust God with your needs, and live with an eternal perspective. Your life can make an impact that continues long after your time on earth is finished.

You have an opportunity to shape the faith, character, and direction of the next generation. In this kickoff message for Raise Them Up, you will be challenged to live your faith consistently, teach God’s ways intentionally, pass on practical wisdom, and show the next generation what the love of God looks like.

Using Psalm 127:3–5 and the picture of children as arrows in the hand of a warrior, this message will help you think intentionally about where you are pointing the people God has placed in your life and how you can help prepare them to confidently follow Jesus.

What if the answer to a difficult season is not for everything around you to become easier, but for you to become stronger? In this First Wednesday message, David Kubota uses Peter walking on water to show you how challenges can become opportunities to grow your faith, develop endurance, and learn to keep your eyes on Jesus.

As you listen, you will be encouraged to build consistent spiritual habits, fill your heart and mind with the right things, stay focused on where Jesus is leading you, and refuse to let the fear of failure keep you in the boat. You do not have to run from hard things when God is strengthening you to overcome them.

What you continually speak can either reinforce the problem in front of you or bring your words into agreement with God’s promises. As you listen, you will learn how to fill your heart with Scripture, speak to the mountains in your life, and place your faith in God rather than in what you see or feel.

Let this message challenge you to examine your words, reject fear-filled declarations, and confidently speak God’s Word over your health, finances, freedom, identity, and future.
