“FAITH FOR THE FUTURE”

II Timothy 1:5-7

          One of the greatest gifts we can give the next generation is biblical faith.  A mother’s faith can have eternal effect!

A PERSONAL FAITH IN GOD IS THE GREATEST NEED FOR EACH GENERATION

1.      Personal faith is individual

2.       Personal faith is identical

Our personal faith in Christ brings freedom from the guilt of our past and freedom from the fears of the future.

A PERSEVERING FAITH  IS CONFIDENT THAT GOD IS IN CONTROL

1.      An anchor for the soul in the storms of life

2.      The anticipation of victory

A POWERFUL FAITH IMPACTS THE FAMILY AND THE WORLD

1.      By faith we stand against the devil

2.      By faith we serve God

3.       By faith we share Jesus with others

What are we passing on to the next generation?
