Summary

In this powerful message, Pastor Levi Lusko unpacks Matthew 18–19 and shows how the disciples learned (twice!) that Jesus doesn’t treat young people as a distraction from ministry, but as the center of it. Through Scripture, history, and real-life stories, we discover where the church drifted and how we can wake up before a generation slips away. Discover three critical mistakes the church makes when it comes to reaching young people and why we must keep the fire burning!GIVE YOUR YEAR-END OFFERING:Be a part of building the Kingdom: https://freshlife.church/give/LEARN MORE ABOUT:Movement Conference: https://mvmnt26.comFresh Life Church on YouVersion: https://www.bible.com/organizations/c8a57c00-c5c5-4d93-a4a2-9fc0f3b68c64?utm_source=yvapp&utm_medium=share&utm_content=partner-pageOpen Network Church Resources: https://open.life.church/partners/fresh-life-churchNEXT STEPS:Ask for prayer or connect with a pastor: https://freshlife.church/contactRegister your decision to follow Jesus and receive free resources: https://freshlife.church/know-godGive a financial gift to support what God is doing as we take steps forward to see the Gospel reach far and wide: https://freshlife.church/giveSUBSCRIBE:Sign up to receive encouragement straight to your inbox, and to stay up to date with announcements, events, and more: https://church.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=6ea4d82b2567db3e86b7767cd&id=451f2fe63eDon’t miss a video!

0:00.0	Hey, thank you so much. We are so excited about this message from God's Word and grateful that we get to bring God's Word to you each week.
0:07.4	That's right.
0:08.1	But first, we wanted to share something very exciting with you.
0:10.5	We have a story you want to share with you of life change from Elizabeth in California.
0:16.3	I first learned about your online church in 2012, and I gave my life to Christ.
0:21.6	Years later, after abuse, heartbreak, and financial instability left me praying for God to let me die,
0:27.6	I went back through your sermons, two, three, even five a day.
0:32.6	And when you said, if you are not dead, God is not done.
0:36.6	I found the strength to begin again. Your teaching grounded me in God's love and in foundational Bible knowledge. It ultimately protected me from being recruited into a cult because I could recognize when their claims didn't align with Scripture that you had taught so faithfully. Your sermons helped me discern truth and cling to Jesus.
0:58.2	Thank you for sharing the word with such clarity and conviction.

1:06.8	So to get this letter from someone in La Habra, California,
1:10.4	we just think, first of all,
1:11.6	A, this is the kingdom. God's word going out and not returning boy, but doing what he intends to do with it.
1:18.8	But it illustrates why it's so important for us to continue to do what we're doing here at this ministry
1:24.1	and send God's word out week by week so someone like this can be impacted
1:28.5	and be grounded and then be deployed into all that God has for her. So we're so thankful to each
1:34.6	of you who support what God's doing here. And if you haven't yet begun that journey, we would
1:39.2	welcome the partnership. That's right. You can between now and the end of the year, participate
1:43.5	in our year-end offering by going to freshlife.ch's right. You can between now and the end of the year participate in our year-end
