"Sharing Jesus Through Generations"

“Sharing Jesus Through the Generations” explores Christians' responsibility to pass their faith from one generation to the next. Dave Butler and Scott Vogel explain that God’s story has always moved through generations of believers who teach, encourage, mentor, and model faith for those who follow. Using Paul and Timothy as an example, they show how mentorship requires genuine relationships, encouragement, accountability, and a willingness to share both victories and mistakes. Every Christian can be both a Paul to someone who needs guidance and a Timothy who can learn from someone further along in the faith. 

The message challenges believers to begin right where God has placed them: with children and family, the youth of the church, friends and peers, and the senior generation. Faith is passed on through everyday life as Christians pray, share their experiences, encourage younger believers, walk alongside friends through difficult times, and learn from the wisdom of those who have lived a lifetime of faith. Seniors are reminded that they remain valuable to God’s work and have an important mission of showing younger generations what lifelong faith looks like. No matter our age, we are called to live faithfully today so that those who come behind us will know Jesus and carry that faith forward.
