As we&#8217;re finishing up our church-wide series, would we be challenged and inspired by God&#8217;s heart and purposes for the generations and how to invest into each other&#8217;s faith journeys.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The relationships we form, particularly across the age-divide, are the opportunities to mentor and point one another back to Jesus, knowing that in each generation, God&#8217;s story and marvelous works will be encountered and experienced in unique ways. We each have a glimpse of His wondrous love and saving work, becoming tangible in us as we follow Him together, and our relationship and knowledge of Him are enriched as we learn from one another. Would our confidence in His gospel shape how we interact and invest in others, living into the call to build one another up for the sake of following Christ more deeply.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Looking forward to our time in God&#8217;s Word together,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Pastor Jon Nip<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"p1\"><b>P<\/b><b>R<\/b><b>A<\/b><span class=\"s2\"><b>Y<\/b><\/span><\/h6>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Gracious God, you are Lord over every generation and it is your desire that people of all ages would come to know you.
