Part 2: Pastor Dan Elkins, Next-Gen Pastor - Students
At Northland, to be a church that glorifies God by participating in His Mission of redeeming a people from all peoples, we must reach the next generation before it is too late.
We reach the next generation or risk losing them to the world.
We reach the next generation or risk losing them to the world.
We reach the Next Generation by being examples of Godly convictions, by making the Lord and what He has done known, and by sharing our changed lives with those younger than us.
1. Godly Convictions Lead to Devotion & Determination (v.7)
2. Distractions Lead to Disengagement & Disobedience (v.10)
3. Changed Lives Lead to Serving & Sharing (v.11-12)
