Legacy Matters

Definition of Legacy: the meaningful long-lasting impact of particular events, actions, of a group, or individual’s person’s life.

Legacy is built daily, yearly, and through all your days. It comes by making meaningful choices throughout your life.

Consider Psalm 145:1-7 - A psalm of praise. Of David.

“1 I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever. 2 Every day I will praise you and extol your name forever. 3 Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. 4 One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts. 5 They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty— and I will meditate on your wonderful works. 6 They tell of the power of your awesome works— and I will proclaim your great deeds. 7 They celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness.”

David focuses on what’s important and meaningful – the Lord! He is to be praised and shared from one generation to another.

Ask yourself; “What am I doing to make my life (and Church) meaningful?”

Leaving a Legacy that Matters is a wonderful way to say “Thank You” to God and others. Today is a great place to start… Amen?

Hope and Perspective by Pastor Ty In the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life” we see a great change in the character, George Bailey. What is different about George Bailey's life after Clarence (Angel) shows him what life would have been like without him? In terms of circumstances, absolutely nothing. At this point, for all he knows his life is exactly as it was a few hours before; Clarence did nothing to change that. The Bailey Building and Loan has still lost $8000- it could be forced to close and people could lose their life savings and jobs, rumors of embezzlement – the family ruined – George’s Arrest -Scandal! But George has changed! He has a new Attitude… a new Perspective on what’s really important Family, Friends and his Faith in God. It’s easy to forget in the movie that the real change has nothing to do with money and affection on Christmas Eve. The real change is within his soul. For the first time George Bailey is looking at life with new eyes. Same for a group of shepherds at the first Christmas – they had a change I attitude/perspective in Luke 2 the angels put on a celebration to announce the birth of Jesus. The shepherds went and found the baby Jesus. Their station in life had not changed but their attitude had: The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. (V20) May this Christmas give us a new perspective and a vertical focus all year long.
