  • Who are we now as a people joined together across time in God’s redemptive plan? (Read Acts 2:39)

  • Where have I been living as though only I matter and only this moment matters?
  • How does belonging to a new kind of generation change the way I think about my life and the people coming after me?
  • What would genuine worship of Jesus look like if he was not just part of my life, but my life?
IDENTIFY: Repent of living for yourself, and believe that in Christ your life is bigger than your lifetime.

Act

What Should I Do in Light of This?
Name 3 people from the next generation that you can specifically be investing in and praying for.
  • Invest in the next generation with ordinary faithfulness by knowing them, loving them, and helping them see they matter. 
  • Pray beyond your lifetime and ask God to bless the next generation, even to the tenth generation.
  • Let your worship be genuine so the next generation can see that Christ is precious to you.
PRAYER: Father, thank you that you are the God of all generations and that your covenant stands forever. Thank you for sending Jesus, the promised seed, who humbled himself to the point of death on the cross and rose again to bring us back into your story. Holy Spirit, help us to stop living small, immediate, self-contained lives. Make our worship genuine, our prayers bold, and our lives faithful. Help us invest in the next generation and proclaim the excellencies of Christ to those who come after us. Amen.
