There's a battle for the next generation, and we need to step up and win it together! Last week, we emphasized the importance of living out and discussing our faith with our kids. These powerful tools, drawn from Paul's instructions to Timothy, are not just for parents but for every believer. The fight for the next generation belongs to the entire church!As we conclude this series, let's focus on two crucial tools that the local church possesses: commissioning and community. In 1 Timothy 4:14, Paul highlights the significance of Timothy's commissioning by the council of elders. They affirmed his calling to ministry, providing him with the vital support and encouragement he needed. We must follow this example and affirm the gifts, ministry, and leadership of young people in our church today.It's time to commission the next generation and stand shoulder to shoulder with them. We can't afford to lose any more time; our kids are growing up fast. Let's live out our faith, talk about it, and do it together. Time is precious, so let's make every moment count! 🙌🌟 Do you have questions, need prayer, or want to get connected?

Part 2 in this 3 week series.

Christianity in America will rise or fall based on how well we pass the faith on to the next generation. We are losing ground, not just with outsiders, but in our own homes. We must turn the tide.Passing the faith on to the next generation is not an assignment for a select few, it is not even a task solely for those raising them. Passing the faith on to the next generation is mission critical for every follower of Jesus.As we start this series, we will focus on Paul’s letter to Timothy and see how we can begin effectively passing our faith on to the next generation.Do you have questions, need prayer, or want to get connected?

This week’s message might be considered an appendix to the series we just finished “Scars on the Soul: Overcoming some of life’s biggest struggles.”We know that when we struggle with anxiety, depression, and addictions, we find ourselves in a very dark place. None of us particularly like the dark and quite frankly, we are sometimes afraid of the dark.This week we will see that God is not afraid of the dark and we can have the peace of His presence, even indark places!Do you have questions, need prayer, or want to get connected?
