The Future Years: Legacy
Key thought: DON’T BUILD A LIFE… BUILD A LEGACY!
Legacy Builders…
1. Life builders are focused on TODAY | Legacy builders are focused on TOMORROW
Proverbs 6:6-8 TLB “Take a lesson from the ants, you lazy fellow. Learn from their ways and be wise! 7 For though they have no king to make them work, 8 yet they labor hard all summer, gathering food for the winter.”
2. Life builders are focused on GETTING | Legacy builders are focused on GIVING
Luke 12:16-21 NIV ““The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. 17 He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’ 18 “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. 19 And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’ 20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’ 21 “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”
3. Life builders are focused on TITLES | Legacy builders are focused on TESTIMONIES
4. Life builders are focused on THIS GENERATION | Legacy builders are focused on THE NEXT GENERATION
1 Chronicles 28:6-7 NLT “He said to me, ‘Your son Solomon will build my Temple and it’s courtyards, for I have chosen him as my son, and I will be his father. 7 And if he continues to obey my commands and regulations as he does now, I will make his kingdom last forever.”
5. Life builders focus on the TEMPORARY | Legacy builders focus on the ETERNAL
I Corinthians 3:10-15 NLT “Because of God’s grace to me, I have laid the foundation like an expert builder. Now others are building on it. But whoever is building on this foundation must be very careful.”
