REACH THE NEXT GENERATION WITH THE GOOD NEWS OF #JESUS

next-gen-2014

Earlier this week I asked the question ‘how do you avoid losing the gospel from one generation to the next?‘ The answer was to remain in Christ. In a sense that’s only half an answer. The full answer is remain in Christ and train up the next generation to receive Christ and remain in Christ.

One of the current ads on this site is NEXT GEN. It is a conference run by Katoomba Christian Convention all about training kids and youth ministry leaders to keep reaching the next generation with the gospel.

It’s held twice in January 2014 (13-17th or 20-24th). If you’ve been before, who could you take with you this year? If you haven’t been before and you’re involved in kids or youth ministry, do whatever you can to get to Sydney this January… it will be a profound investment in the gospel going to the next generation.

HOW DO YOU AVOID LOSING THE GOSPEL FROM ONE GENERATION TO THE NEXT?

remain-in-christ

I’ve outlined previously the danger of Christian culture. One generation preaches the gospel of Jesus and within a few small steps later generations have assumed, neglected and then denied the good news of Jesus. How do you avoid this? In Colossians 2:6-7 Paul urges his readers to continue in Christ. See the Colossians sermon below to see how I unpack this idea of remaining in Christ.

Here is the structure:

ONE GENERATION AWAY FROM LOSING THE GOSPEL
KEY VERSE: COLOSSIANS 2:6-7
1) FULLNESS IS FOUND ONLY IN CHRIST (Colossians 2:8-15)
2) FREEDOM IS FOUND ONLY IN CHRIST (Colossians 2:16-23)
KEY VERSE: COLOSSIANS 2:6-7
ONE GENERATION AWAY FROM CHANGING THE WORLD
