may Anniversaries:
What lasting legacy will we leave behind? Will our legacy exhibit the foundations of our belief? Moses lived his life as a man deeply committed to God and obedient to God’s commands. At the end of his life, he prepared the people to carry on without him. His life of faith and obedience was a legacy to the Israelites as they claimed the Promised Land. Each of these people also has a lasting legacy that endures today. In despair, Hannah turned to the God of hope and poured out her heart’s desire. God granted her prayer and continued her legacy of hope in Samuel. In faithful obedience to God’s direction, Abraham trusted God to provide the needed sacrifice. God met Abraham’s need as he stepped out in faith. In honoring God’s love for him, Paul was motivated to share the love of Christ with others. He made four missionary journeys, started many churches, and wrote much of the New Testament. What kind of lasting legacy are we building? Do our lives exhibit the hope we have in Christ, faithful obedience to God’s commands, as well as the love of Christ? Join us every Sunday at 9 in May as we learn how to build a lasting legacy that promotes hope, exhibits faith in God, and motivates us to serve and love as Jesus did.
Scripture for May: 1 Thessalonians 1:3 New International Version (NIV) We remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
