Welcome back. Thank you for joining in. Today's episode, to me at least, seems a little different than what we've done before. I want to break down the time

that we have together into three categories. First of all, we will talk about the need, the challenge,

the importance of sharing Jesus with the children in our lives.

Maybe you have children in your home, maybe grandkids, nieces, or nephews, or young people

at the church where you worship or in your neighborhood.

If God in any way has put young people under your charge in a place

where your words can influence them, it is our mission, our purpose, to share with them

the message of Jesus. We have not talked about this topic much in previous

episodes, but I'll put it to you this way. What's the purpose of growing in your relationship with

the Lord if you are not sharing the nature of that relationship with the next generation.

So I will circle back to that in just a moment.

In the middle section of the episode, I want to really introduce the title today,

Creation to Revelation, in order to help us see that everything going on in the Bible, from Genesis chapter 1,

all the way through to Revelation 22, is the Christ story.
