God desires for us to live in community, where every generation is connected and every person is valued. Intergenerational relationships, like a well-structured family, are essential for our growth and for the flourishing of the church.

  • The Role of the Younger Generation
  • The Importance of Peers and Community

Reflection Questions

  1. Which layer of the “Oreo” are you most comfortable with—the top (mentors), the middle (peers), or the bottom (mentees)?
  2. What is one thing you can do this week to intentionally invest in one of the other layers?
  3. The sermon spoke about the wisdom passed down from elders. Thinking about your own life, what is one “cow story”—a mistake or painful experience—that you could share with someone younger to help them avoid a similar path?
