From Generation to Generation - Season 5, Episode 4

What happens to a church when the pioneers who built it begin to pass the baton to younger generations? Pastor Dorrell confronts this critical question by examining Joshua's call to lead Israel into Canaan after Moses' death. Rather than abandoning the vision of the past, Joshua is commanded to continue and expand it—honoring what was built while propelling it forward. Dorrell argues that spiritual and institutional decline occurs not through dramatic failure but through complacency: when churches rest on the capital of previous generations' sacrifices and cease to invest their own energy, they inevitably die. He challenges the congregation to recognize that stewardship of the past demands active participation in the future, calling younger leaders to step up, older members to mentor, and all believers to refuse the comfort of spiritual stagnation.Eastland is a Place to BelongEastland Baptist Church is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
