Sermon Notes

New Cultural Force + God’s Word + Creative Response = Reaching New Generation(s)

What are the challenges?

- Chasm 1: Everyday life + sensationalized life
- Chasm 2: Information + wisdom
- Chasm 3: Real relationship + virtual relationships


1. Sensationalized generation, but how deep is it?
2. Informed generation, but how discerning is it?
3. Connected generation, but how fulfilled is it?



What is our faithful creative response?
1. Train (Proverbs 22:6)

- Delaying exposure
- Limiting usage
- Trusting them with increasing responsibility (Luke 16:10)

2. Treasure (Matthew 6:19-24)

If our children cannot find their highest satisfaciotn in Christ, they are going to look for it in something else.

Create an environment at home that is more engaging and more satisfying than the one they find online.

1. Be a consistent presence in their lives
2. Create positive memories (have fun!) as you disciple your children
3. Do something hard together for the sake of another

Conclusion: 1 Corinthians 15:9-11
