THIS…IS THE TRAINING
Are we truly living out our faith in a way that inspires the next generation? This powerful message challenges us to examine the disconnect between what we say and what we do. The speaker draws from Proverbs 22:6, 'Train up a child in the way he should go,' but flips our understanding on its head. We're confronted with the sobering reality that our actions have trained our children in ways we never intended. Through inconsistency, selfishness, and hypocrisy, we've unknowingly pushed away an entire generation from the church. But there's hope! We're called to honest self-reflection and fervent prayer, following Solomon's example in 1 Kings 8. It's time for us to seek God's forgiveness, ask for a fresh start, and commit to living out our faith authentically. This message urges us to bridge the generational gap in our churches through sincere repentance and a renewed commitment to God's ways.
