Chip Luter teaches us that Jesus is intentional. Jesus invites us to follow Him, He attracts others, and He declares truth. How can we be as intentional as Jesus? We must connect with outsiders and we must live on a mission. We must care less about selfish ambition and more about the Great Commission.

Dr. Ben Mandrell teaches us that Christians are stronger in their faith when they are in community with others. There is no strong Christian apart from the Church. We need each other. You need other people holding you up and making you strong in your faith. Strong Christians draw near to Christ in prayer, hold on to hope in Christ, and provoke one another in love.

Boto Joseph reminds us that God’s plan to reach the nations is the Church, and the Church is essential for three reasons. The Church is not a human construct but was created by Jesus. Jesus is the founder of the Church and we are His members. And the Church is called to be on mission to spread the Gospel and be God’s ambassadors.

Life is made up of a series of moments and it is important that you cultivate moments that matter. Recognize your humanity and that you are made in the image of God. Be a person of integrity and know that God's way is the best way. Leave a legacy by living a legacy. Jesus' life made us right with God. He took on our humanity, lived a life of integrity, and died in our place to ensure our eternal legacy.

Solomon was known as a wise man and you can learn three things from the wise and unwise choices he made. Wisdom wins the day so ask God for wisdom daily. Tenderness wins the heart so work on tenderness in your relationships. Our focus determines our finish so remain faithful in your walk with God.

David was a humble shepherd who God chose to be king and you can learn three things about God from David's life. God can use anyone, God can forgive anyone who repents of their sins, and God should be worshipped by everyone. Through it all, David was a man after God's own heart.

Remembering God's faithfulness in your life is imperative to your faith walk. To remind you of what God has done in your life, create memory markers like the remembrance stones in the book of Joshua. Memory makers are physical reminders of God's legacy in your life, that your past defeats have been rolled away and a sign to others around you that God is faithful.

Marriage is a journey where a husband and wife lean on the Lord and each other. On that journey, wholeheartedly commit to each other! As you do, be sure to jealously protect your marriage, trust God for help, value rightly, and walk purely and protectively. Together, you'll build a lasting love and live happily (most of the time) ever after.

In a crazy world, choose God's template for marriage. Serve each other with your words and actions, and prioritize each other with your time. Don't let your heart become stale or sour. Choose God's way for your marriage, and watch young love mature and deepen.

When we live anchored in the Lord, we can smile at the future and what is to come. We live from God’s love, and we freely give that love to others, through our kind words and time and attention. When we live in this way and with this intentionality, we will walk in abundant life and leave a legacy and blessing for those to come.
