How can one generation experience the power of God, only for the next generation to grow up not knowing Him?

Pastor Paul Stephens preaches from Deuteronomy 6 and Judges 2 about one of the most sobering responsibilities given to parents, grandparents, pastors, mentors, and the entire church: passing a living faith to the next generation.

Israel had seen miracles, deliverance, supernatural provision, and victory. Yet Judges records the tragedy that followed: “another generation arose after them who did not know the Lord, nor the work which He had done for Israel.”

How did that happen?

This message examines the dangers of partial obedience, silence in the home, cultural influence, fading spiritual leadership, and assuming our children will inherit a relationship with God simply because they grew up around church.

Pastor Stephens also challenges young people directly: your parents' relationship with Jesus cannot become your substitute for knowing Him yourself.

In this message:
• Why spiritual legacies can disappear in a single generation
• The responsibility of parents and grandparents
• Why children need to hear your testimony
• How compromise can multiply in the next generation
• The danger of allowing the world to shape your children's appetites
• Why church kids need their own encounter with Jesus
• How every member of a congregation influences the young people watching them

Key Scriptures:
Deuteronomy 6:4-9
Judges 2:7-12
Deuteronomy 4:9-10
Joshua 4:5-7
Psalm 127:3
Matthew 5:14-16
Ecclesiastes 12:1
Psalm 119:9-10

If we want another generation to know God, we cannot be silent about what God has done.

Why does God correct the people He loves?

In this powerful Wayman Wednesday message, Pastor Wayman Mitchell opens Hebrews 12 to reveal why correction is not rejection—it is proof of God’s love and a process that shapes us into people He can use.

From the struggle of human will and rebellion to the peaceable fruit of righteousness, this sermon challenges us to stop resisting God’s authority and receive the character-building work He wants to do in us.

Scriptures referenced include Hebrews 12, Isaiah 14, Acts 9, Galatians 3, 2 Peter 1, and 2 Timothy 2.

Pastor Lopez preaches an unusual message from Matthew 24 and Revelation designed not only for Christians today, but for the people they fear may one day be left behind.
What happened? What happens next? And most importantly, what should you do?
From the rise of the Antichrist and the Great Tribulation to the Mark of the Beast, persecution, the return of Jesus Christ, and the urgent need for salvation, Pastor Lopez walks through his understanding of Bible prophecy and delivers one overriding warning:
Don't wait until tomorrow to get right with God.

This message was originally preached on May 26, 2021, so references to political leaders, international conflicts, technology, UFO reports, inflation, and other current events reflect the world as it existed at that time. Some connections between those events and end-times prophecy represent Pastor Lopez's personal interpretation and speculation.
Key Scriptures:
Matthew 24:21-22
1 Corinthians 15:51-53
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
2 Thessalonians 2
Daniel 9:27
Revelation 6-14
Revelation 13:16-18
Revelation 19:11-16
Luke 21:36
If this message makes you think of someone you love, don't just think about them. Pray for them. Talk to them. Share the Gospel with them while there is still time.
