Making Disciples

Making Disciples - Sue Jakes - 1/22/2012 - LPC

I don't know how many of you were at LPC this past Sunday and had the privilege of hearing Sue Jakes' talk on making disciples, but it gripped me (and Barb) and it is well worth a listen! She was talking about children's ministry and emphasized how important it is. Whether you are a mother ministering to your children, a grandmother, or even if you do not have children of your own, all of our covenant children are the key to passing our faith to the next generation.

Jesus called us to make disciples - that was his final mandate to us before ascending into heaven. How are we doing with that? Are we showing our children that we love Jesus? Are we teaching them to love Jesus, too? Are we raising them to be servants? Are we raising them to love His word?

She also speaks specifically to the importance of scripture, and scripture memory. She even talks about having a little card of a memory verse placed where you can see it during the day- Sound familiar anyone? :)

Please take a moment to listen to this wonderful message about passing on the baton of faith to the next generation.
