Scripture Passage: Judges 1-2
We want to pass on a legacy of following after Jesus to the next Generation. We want to see this generation of households transformed by the power of the Gospel.
At Kingsland, one of our core values is “Collective Legacy” – recognizing that ALL of us have a role to play in the spiritual formation of the next generation. We believe that God first ordained the home and family as the primary place of discipleship, the Church is there to “fill in the gaps.” This means that ALL of us have a responsibility to future generations.
Every Christian must embrace his or her role in Collective Legacy because of the THREE GENERATIONS described in Judges 2:8-10. These three generations are examples of what we could be, we can pass on our collective legacy or neglect it and turn away from it.

The Compromising Generation (Judges 1:19-32)
This generation didn’t blatantly disobey Gods commands they simply lots their zeal for his commands, embraces half-obedience and ignored evil.
It still happens today, how many of us have watched a move or TV show in the past year that you would have never watched ten years ago. American christians fall into the trap of measuring our godliness by the world’s standard – simply desiring to be just a little better than the world.
-
The Lost Generation (Judges 2:10)
This generation not only didn’t know the lord, they didn’t even know what the Lord had done.
In the same way today, statistically, things are not trending well. In the past few months Chick-fil-a has recently been banned from 2 airports in our country and 1 right down the road in San Antonio, TX. Why? Because their founder is a Christian and supports Biblical standards, not because the business itself discriminates toward anyone. It doesn’t take very much or very long for a generation to be lost. The compromising generation lead to a lost generation.
-
The Faithful Generation (Judges 2:8-16)
The hope for the next generation is to learn from previous generations, to remember what matters, and to be restored by Jesus.
The vision at Kingsland is that homes are being transformed with the Gospel. The home is where revival begins. The church is supposed to support the home in raising up new generations. It takes a few who live the Blessing.
