Leaving a Legacy

Leaving a legacy is the focus of Sunday's message.  We have been working through our One Month to Live Challenge and making changes in our lives as we go.  The Bible says, "A good man leaves an inheritance for his children's children, but a sinner's wealth is stored up for the righteous." (Proverbs 13:22)  Although this passage focuses on finance, leaving a legacy encompasses all areas of your life.  What type of spiritual, emotional, or financial legacy are you leaving your children and grandchildren?


God wants to help you leave a wonderful legacy to all those who know you - a legacy of righteous living and generosity to others.    Sometimes we fail to connect the dots between our lives and the lives of others.  What we do really does echo in eternity.  How you live, who you spend time with, your habits, your vices, and even your thoughts, they all impact your life and the lives of others for eternity.  Think of your life as a small smooth stone which causes the water to ripple when you toss it.


Everything we do leaves a ripple.  What will your ripple look like?  I believe a God-cetnered life leaves the greatest ripple on others and produces the most satisfying life as well.  Join us Sunday as we focus on leaving a legacy.
