GLS: The Strongest Link by Craig Groeschel


·      There are some tensions between the generations today. 
·      There is not enough investing in next generations in the church today.

o   The Older Generation:  Don’t resent, fear, or judge the next generation.  Invest in them.  Believe in them.  They need you!
§  You can still make a difference.  God values maturity.  You best days are before when you take the best that God has taught you and invest it in others!
§  If you are not dead you are not done!
§  If you delegate tasks you create followers.  If you delegate authority to create leaders.
§  Embrace the season that you are in.  Be yourself.
§  You can be a spiritual father to those who come behind you! Psalm 71:18
o   The Younger Generation:  You need older generation more than you know!  Don’t be Entitled.
§  You overestimate what you can do in the short run but underestimate what you can do in the long run.
§  Honor publicly will earn you influence privately. 
§  One of the reasons we do not honor each other is because we have forgotten how to honor God.
§  Honor builds up!
§  Respect is earned buy honor is given.
§  If you ever want to be over you have to live under with integrity. 
·      How can we learn from one another?
o   Create ongoing feedback loops.
o   Create specific mentoring moments.
§  Learn how other great leaders think.
o   Create opportunities for significant leadership development.
§  Give others the platform.
