1. We Must Start By Taking The Responsibility To Impact Generations

Acts 13:36 (NIV) “Now when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his ancestors and his body decayed.

Joshua 14:12 (ESV)So now give me this hill country of which the LORD spoke on that day, for you heard on that day how the Anakim were there, with great fortified cities. It may be that the LORD will be with me, and I shall drive them out just as the LORD said.”

Esther 4:16 (NLT)"Go and gather together all the Jews of Susa and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. My maids and I will do the same. And then, though it is against the law, I will go in to see the king. If I must die, I must die."

2. We Must Start Doing Something About It.

Matthew 25:25-26 (ESV)So I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.’ But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant!

John 6:9 (ESV)“There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are they for so many?”

3. We Must Intentionally Keep Passing It On!

2 Timothy 2:22 (NLT)You have heard me teach things that have been confirmed by many reliable witnesses. Now teach these truths to other trustworthy people who will be able to pass them on to others.

The first Generation starts a movement, second generation builds a monument and the third generation builds a museum.
