LEGACY What if the most important thing about your life is what is left after you are gone?
LEGACY If I died right now, what legacy would I leave behind? If I continue the direction of my life, what legacy am I likely to leave?
LEGACY What legacy do I want to leave? How can I set the direction of my life so that I can leave that legacy?
Now these are the last words of David: The oracle of David, the son of Jesse, the oracle of the man who was raised on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, the sweet psalmist of Israel: 2 The Spirit of the LORD speaks by me; his word is on my tongue. 3 The God of Israel has spoken; the Rock of Israel has said to me: When one rules justly over men, ruling in the fear of God... 2 Samuel 23:1-3 (ESV)
...he dawns on them like the morning light, like the sun shining forth on a cloudless morning, like rain that makes grass to sprout from the earth. 5 For does not my house stand so with God? For he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things and secure. For will he not cause to prosper all my help and my desire? 2 Samuel 23:4-5 (ESV)
But worthless men are all like thorns that are thrown away, for they cannot be taken with the hand; 7 but the man who touches them arms himself with iron and the shaft of a spear, and they are utterly consumed with fire. 2 Samuel 23:6-7 (ESV)
COMMITTED TO GOD S GLORY The Spirit of the LORD speaks by me; his word is on my tongue. 3 The God of Israel has spoken; the Rock of Israel has said to me: When one rules justly over men, ruling in the fear of God... 2 Samuel 23:2-3 (ESV)
COMMITTED TO GOD S GLORY Now when the king lived in his house and the LORD had given him rest from all his surrounding enemies, 2 the king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells in a tent. 2 Samuel 7:1-2 (ESV)...the house that is to be built for the LORD must be exceedingly magnificent, of fame and glory throughout all lands. 1 Chronicles 22:5 (ESV)
LIFE OF GOD S GRACE Now these are the last words of David: The oracle of David, the son of Jesse, the oracle of the man who was raised on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, the sweet psalmist of Israel... 2 Samuel 23:1 (ESV)
LIFE OF GOD S GRACE Now, therefore, thus you shall say to my servant David, Thus says the LORD of hosts, I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people Israel. 9 And I have been with you wherever you went and have cut off all your enemies from before you. And I will make for you a great name, like the name of the great ones of the earth. 2 Samuel 7:8-9 (ESV)
LIFE OF GOD S GRACE Now these are the last words of David: The oracle of David, the son of Jesse, the oracle of the man who was raised on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, the sweet psalmist of Israel: 2 The Spirit of the LORD speaks by me; his word is on my tongue. 2 Samuel 23:1-2 (ESV)
LIFE OF GOD S GRACE For does not my house stand so with God? For he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things and secure. 2 Samuel 23:5 (ESV)
