Faith That Lasts

In a powerful exploration of generational faith, Pastor J weaves together the timeless wisdom found in 2 Timothy, challenging believers to build a legacy that outlasts their own lives. Through the compelling example of Timothy's grandmother Lois and mother Eunice, he unveils three essential practices for nurturing enduring faith: modeling sincere belief without hypocrisy, intentionally teaching Scripture, and personally embracing the truth we've received. Drawing from personal experiences, including his own faith journey from college through seminary, Pastor J illustrates how authentic faith is both caught and taught, emphasizing that each generation must choose to grab hold of the spiritual baton passed to them. His message resonates particularly deeply within the context of Kapahulu Bible Church's 'ohana-centered community, where every member - from parents to singles to kupuna - plays a vital role in discipling the next generation. With practical applications ranging from dinner-table devotions to intentional prayer modeling, Pastor J concludes with an urgent call to action: faith that lasts isn't built by accident, but through deliberate choices to live out and pass on our relationship with Jesus, the true Cornerstone of lasting faith.
