Joshua (4 of 4)
Series: The OT

Hebrews 11:4
Every single one of us... are going to leave a legacy, whether we realize it or not. [Hebrews 11:4] says, ''even though he is dead, he still speaks...'' That's talking about legacy. The Bible says, even when we're dead, our lives will still speak.
Consider this question today... When I'm dead, what will my life say? What will I leave behind?
Most people start thinking about their legacy... far too late. And that's understandable... life is crazy. When you're a teenager, you're not thinking about legacy. You're thinking about grades and girls and popularity and fun. The same is true in college... and then you get married and start having kids... and life gets crazy!
Most people don't think about legacy when they're a young adult working 60 hours a week, trying to pay a mortgage... at that point, you're just trying to survive! Can I get an Amen?
And it's not like it slows down after that. After working hard, and building for so many years... there'll be a day when you wake up and realize you're a real-life grown-up and now you're in that season of 'adulting' - where you're taking care of aging parents and you're focused on building your 401k...
Then one day you look up, and you're a grandparent... and for many people... that's the moment where everything changes. It's in that season, where many people hit the pause button, they look up and they realize... ''You know what? I'm not going to live forever.'' And we wonder, ''When I'm gone-what will they remember? What will they say about me? What kind of legacy am I really going to leave?''
Normally, when we begin thinking about legacy, we think in terms of possessions and stuff. We think-when I'm gone, I'm going to leave this for him and this for her... and we think about how we're going to divide our possessions and where we're going to leave our things.
But when you think about, it's not the inheritance and possessions that you ...
