Reaching A New Generation

I was reading a blog series recently by Kevin DeYoung.  It was geny5very interesting and to be honest I a m still working through what it means for myself and our church.  

Kevin’s Premise was that if you need to reach or in fact keep young  people for Jesus then the best way to do that is not by trying to always being young hip and trendy (Culturally relevant) but by going after them with the following 5 principles:

  1. Grab them with passion
  2. Win them with love
  3. Hold them with holiness
  4. Challenge them with truth
  5. Amaze them with God

I am sure you will agree all very interesting and thought provoking, you can read how he unpacks each of these by clicking the relevant point above.

Much Blessings
Jim

  1. This is spot on Jim. It would be worth unpacking what these five areas would like in our lives and in our church context.
