The Blessing of the Third Generation | Pastor Walker Schurz

Season 1, Ep. 3

In this powerful sermon, Pastor Walker explores what it means to live generationally—passing down faith, blessing, and godly ways from one generation to the next. Drawing from Psalm 78 and other biblical examples, he reveals God’s design for multigenerational impact, known as the blessing of the third generation. Through stories like Abraham’s covenant journey and the wilderness rebellion, Pastor Walker shows how each generation must break ungodly patterns while continuing faithful ones. Using examples such as Moses and Joshua or Samson and the young lad, he emphasizes the importance of intergenerational partnership in fulfilling God’s purposes—both in families and within the church community at Miracle Life.

When they turn toward each other, blessing and purpose are restored. The enemy divides generations; God unites them.

Turn your heart, restore connection, and let God’s story continue through you.
