The next time you are asked to preach in the main services (probably the week after Christmas, Memorial Day, or Labor Day) use it to make a case for investing in the next generation.

This one-off message draws from Deuteronomy 6:1-9 and is inspired by the folks at Orange who popularized the idea of using marbles to count down the number of weeks until a child graduates from high school and moves on to what's next. Through this message you will be able to:

• Make a case statement on the importance of parents stepping up to their responsibility to disciple their kids.
• Make a case statement on the importance of children and youth ministry.
• Challenge the entire church to step up in their responsibility to raise up the next generation.
• Challenge the students in your congregation to be open to investment.
• Recruit volunteers for your children and youth ministries.
• Get a raise from your Senior Pastor.
