0:30.0	Commandments and that they should not be like their fathers a stubborn and rebellious generation a generation whose heart was not
0:37.6	steadfast whose spirit was not faithful to God. I love these verses this whole
0:43.9	picture in Psalm 78 of
0:46.2	recounting the works of God the wonders of God to the next
0:51.9	Generation even to children yet unborn. What a phrase. Oh, we want to live so that children who aren't even born yet
0:59.6	will hear about the works of God so that they set their hope in God and keep his commandments.
1:07.8	I just want you to think right now about the next generation around you and I want to encourage you to think about this
1:13.8	even if you're eight years old listening to this. So you're in the youngest generation right now

2:11.8	help every parent who's listening to this to be faithful to tell the next generation who you are,
2:18.5	what you've done and what you've commanded us to do. God help us to be faithful to pass on your commandments
2:25.3	but not just his parents God for every single one of us. Regardless of our status as single or married
2:32.5	regardless of our family picture God help us in the church to be faithful to pass on your word to
2:38.9	the next generation. God will pray to help us to faithfully do this in such a way that children who
2:45.3	are yet unborn will one day hear your commandments and put their hope in you. God will pray for our children
