Re-Envisioning His Legacy – Culture of Discipleship
Re-Envisioning His Legacy – Culture of Discipleship
Sermon Synopsis
In Psalm 2:7-8, Jesus asked His Father for an inheritance, a legacy. His inheritance is the nations and the ends of the earth. We become part of this legacy when we give Jesus the place he deserves in our life—Lord and Savior. This is not merely about saying words, it is about stepping into our holy calling, united and equipped in the church.
This happens every day as the power of the gospel through the working of the Holy Spirit transforms people in their life, marriage, workplace, family, community, and neighborhood. This yields the fulfillment of our God’s desire for a people of every nation, adoring Him for eternity as one people (Revelation 7:9-12).
As a local church family, Jesus called us to display His desire and this daily life among our City. In particular, He called us to focus on and display this love amongst the First Ward neighborhoods of Columbia – 14 central City neighborhoods where we live, learn, work, and play.
Let’s settle in over January – March as we re-envision our hearts, our families, and our very calendars to the legacy He and we long for.
