Pass the Truth to the Next Generations

Champions
“After that whole generation had
been gathered to their ancestors,
another generation grew up who
knew neither the LORD nor what
he had done for Israel.”

-Judges 2:10 (NIV)

How can we successfully
pass our faith in Christ to
the next generation?
BE
A
STRONG
EXAMPLE
“Choose for yourselves this
day whom you will serve,
whether the gods which
your fathers served that
were on the other side of
the River, or the gods of
the Amorites, in whose
land you dwell. But as for
me and my house, we will
serve the LORD”
–Joshua 24:15b (NKJV)
“After that whole
generation had
been gathered to
their ancestors,
another
generation grew
up who knew
neither the
LORD nor what he
had done for
Israel.”
-Judges 2:10 (NIV)
What happened to
cause such a
radical change
between the book
of Joshua and the
very next book,
Judges?
 Parents
stopped teaching their children
what God had done for them.
(Deuteronomy 4:9, 11:19, Colossians 1:28)

 People didn’t obey the repeated command

to drive out all the Canaanites from the
Promised Land. (Deuteronomy 7:1-4, 2
Corinthians 6:14, 1 Corinthians 15:33)

 There was no God-fearing leadership to

restrain sin.
“Then the children of Israel did evil in the
sight of the LORD, and served the Baals;
and they forsook the LORD God of their
fathers, who had brought them out of the
land of Egypt.”-Judges 2:11-12a (NKJV)
