Summary

As we read through Deuteronomy, Moses shares his last instructions for Israel. He reminds the nation of their history, rereads the law, and encourages them that obedience leads to blessing. Narrowing in on Deuteronomy 6, we see three ways to pass down our faith to the next generation.

Key Takeaways

3 ways we pass our faith to the next generation:

  • Through a singular passion: A surrendered life that listens and loves.
  • Through saturated heart: An invested disciple who meditates and memorizes.
  • Through centered home: Intentional discipleship that is visible and verbal.

Discussing and Applying the Sermon

  • Is Jesus your singular passion? If not, what is hindering you?
  • What changes can you make to ensure richer and/or more consistent time communing with God?
  • Who can you share your story of rescue with this week?
  • How can you use mealtime, drive time, bedtime, or morning time more intentionally in your home?
  • How can you pray specifically for those you are discipling?
