A Call To Courage In The Next Generation - Pastor Armen Thomassion

The sermon calls the next generation to courageous faith rooted in the sufficiency of Scripture, drawing from Joshua 1 to emphasize that true strength comes not from personal ability but from divine presence and obedience to God's Word. It argues that courage is cultivated through a deep, meditative engagement with the Bible—thinking on it, trusting it, living by it, and teaching it—rather than relying on worldly wisdom, psychology, or cultural trends. The passage warns against spiritual complacency and the subtle erosion of biblical truth in modern Christianity, urging young people to reject self-centeredness and embrace total consecration to Christ, even at great personal cost. The promise of God's abiding presence—'I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee'—is presented as the ultimate source of confidence and success, empowering believers to face any challenge with faith and purpose. Ultimately, the sermon is a passionate plea for revival, calling both youth and older believers to surrender their lives to God, so that a new generation might rise with fire, purpose, and unwavering devotion to the gospel.
