Title: Building Forward
Series: Legacy Series
Scripture: Genesis 13:14-17
Author: Jeff Ecklund
This series is about legacy, building legacy, what hinders legacy and the difference between inheritance and legacy.
The closest bible word we have for legacy is inheritance. The world takes inheritance and makes it solely monetary.
The biblical concept of legacy as we move forward encompasses so much more(although monetary is part of it)...
Legacy to me can be summed up in a statement....
Live for what lasts!

Legacy lifts your eyes to look from the place where you are...forward

Story goes that the boy would see a man walk down the sidewalk and go out and ask "are you my dad?"....Subsequently the boys mom remarried and divorced four more times, each time the boy had his last name changed and never knew until he was 16 what his biological and given name was.
That boy was me growing up. One of 11 brothers/sisters, all half...
Father wound, identity crisis growing up... rejected...not being marked so to speak in a positive way by a father...
That was a legacy started that needed to be a legacy changed..
And it was by the grace of God through Jesus and spiritual fathers in the body of Christ.
