Your legacy outlives you.  It is determined mainly by four different aspects of your life:  Your words, your deeds, your wealth, and your love.  This week we focused on what you do with your life.  Your actions matter.  We are created to do good works, and these works are a proof of our salvation.  They are a lasting testimony that lives on and on.

Your legacy is the lasting fruit you leave behind.  Your legacy is primarily determined by your words, your deeds, your wealth, and your love.  This week we look at our words.  The things you say in this life will play a significant role in the legacy you leave behind.  

It's inevitable.  One day we will all be gone.  All that will be left is our legacy.  Your words, your deeds, your wealth, and your love will live on.  Those are things that are determined now.  The life we live today determines the legacy we leave tomorrow.

Church is more than a "Sunday morning thing".  Church is a family.  Church is an "all the time" thing.  We need each other!  Life keeps coming at us, and we don't always "feel" right.  That's when the church is so important.  We are one.  We are an encouragement to each other.  

Life is unpredictable.  Life is a series of ups and downs.  Just when you think you have it all figured out, something happens.  This is life.  But, for the life that is centered on God, the swings don't have to be as intense.  Yes, the mountains and valleys still happen, but now there is an anchor in the storm. 

God is a delivering God.  He comes through.  He shows up at just the right time.  He rescues.  But, what if it doesn't happen just as we planned?  What if God doesn't deliver us from our situation?

We all face them.  Giants are a part of life.  It's that one huge issue that keeps coming back, taunting you day after day.  You've heard the story, and you know the ending:  David slays Goliath.  But, what led up to this point and how did a teenage boy kill a giant?  There might be more to this story than you've heard before.

Anthony ("Tony") gave his story of how God rescued Him.  He reached a low point, he got to the end of himself.  A life of drugs and a life of crime finally bottomed his life.  Everything changed the day he was arrested.  Tony's story is a story of God's redemption.  God never gives up, He restores and rescues.  This story is a story of the love of God!

Much of life is monotonous.  We have routines and schedules that seem to be much the same over and over and over.  However, there are those moments that break the trend.  Moments in our lives where we've undoubtedly been in the presence of God.  A time where we had an encounter.  Those times need to be remembered.  They need to be memorialized.  When life gets hard, or when we face a season of drought, it is good to remember, to go back to these spiritual markers.  

Truth brings freedom.  Lies bring slavery.  All of the issues in the world, all of the issues in our lives, can be rooted down to a lie of some type.  We live in a time when truth seems hard to discover.  Everyone has an opinion.  The good news for us as believers, is we have TRUTH living inside of us and guiding us.
