Distracted: Next Generation

Isaiah 58:12 is a call for God’s people to become rebuilders and restorers — not just of physical walls, but of families, faith, and generational foundations. True worship moves beyond religious routine into compassionate action that heals what’s been broken. When we invest in the next generation, we partner with God to raise up “repairers of the breach” who will restore what sin and neglect have torn down. This passage reminds us that revival begins when God’s people rebuild from the inside out — starting with their hearts and homes.

Discussion Questions
  • What does it mean to be a “repairer of the breach” in our culture today?
  • In what ways can the Church invest in and empower the next generation to rebuild what’s been lost?
  • What “ruins” (spiritual, relational, or cultural) do you see around you that God may be calling you to restore?
  • How can you personally help raise up the “foundations of many generations” in your home, church, or community?
