Psalm 78
You must listen to the audio to get the heart of this
message, but here are some verses and themes...
Our elders sacrificed so much to give us our church today.
Now they pass the torch, before they are gone.
Just because we have
always had them doesn't mean we will always have them.
This may seem awkward to you, but it isn't to them.
They know they are old, and God said you may have 70 or 80 years.
Some of them are pushing the limit!
Of course, none of us are promised tomorrow, and these in the middle
may attend my funeral or yours.
But they want me today to challenge you to rise up for the future of GBC!
There is no greater honor or tribute we could bestow upon these than
the assurance that we will follow in their footsteps of faithfulness and
sacrifice and bear the burden and carry the load of the future, so the walls
they worked so hard to build may ever stand and the doors God has opened
here may ever remain open!
Psalm 100:5
For the Lord is good; his mercy is
everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
Psalm 145:4
One generation shall praise thy works to
another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.
Will we, too, become a generation of Grace? How about our
children?
Judges 2:10
And also all that generation were
gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them,
which knew not the Lord, nor yet the works which he had done…
We cannot let that happen! The Bible says,
Eccles. 1:4
One generation passeth away, and another
generation cometh…
But what will become of the next generation?
If we do it correctly…then this is what could
be said,
Psalm 45:17
I will make thy name to be remembered in
all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.
If this is to happen, then it’s up to us
gathered here this morning, by God’s grace, to see it thru! It’s time to
claim responsibility…to lay aside the ‘consumer mentality’ that asks ‘what
can this church do for me?’, and have a ‘contributor mentality’, asking,
‘what can I do for the church God has led me to?’ Own responsibility to own
your church!
