We all want to be remembered for something. This is where a legacy comes in. The idea of leaving a legacy is the need or the desire to be remembered for what you have contributed to the world. While many people want to be remembered for contributions made, advancements in society or discoveries that change the world. However, as followers of Jesus, our contribution is much more.

 

Tonight, the 8th graders will be leading a discussion on how we can live out and leave a legacy that is worth being remembered for. This legacy comes when we have a deep love for God. Where we love him with everything we are and first in our lives. It also comes when we have a deep love for other people. This is evident in our daily interactions with the people around us. Our legacy also comes when we love God’s Word. The Bible leads us into a life that is centered on Jesus. Finally, our legacy matters when we love living out our faith. We show the world around us what we believe and how it has changed us. These things bring a legacy that really lasts!
