In this sermon, join Ps Bruce as he preaches on the importance of leaving a legacy, God’s faithfulness through generations and how He can use us to build platforms instead of pits.
God is good, all the time, and His goodness and faithfulness transcend generations. We know this because of what scripture says:
Deuteronomy 7:9 shows me that God is faithful, keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations.
Psalm 100:5 assures me of His enduring love and faithfulness for all time.
Lamentations 3:22-23 reminds me that His compassions are renewed every morning.
1 Corinthians 1:9 declares that God is faithful, calling me into fellowship with His Son.
Throughout history, God has shown His faithfulness to people like Adam, Noah, Abraham, David, and countless others. His promises never fail, and even when we fall short, 2 Timothy 2:13 tells us He remains faithful because it is His very nature.
Faithfulness is both an inheritance and a responsibility. Like David preparing for the temple Solomon would build, what we do today impacts the generations that follow. So are we building a platform for them to stand on or a pit they must climb out of?
This challenges us to:
- Prepare and include others in the journey. We must explain why we serve, love, and strive, not just lead by example but teach the meaning behind it.
- Devote our heart to seeking God. We need to learn and teach how to pray, seek, obey, and trust in Him, ensuring this knowledge passes on.
- If you feel like you have no inheritance, start now. You start now to prepare for the future.
If we feel like we have no inheritance of faith, we can start building one today. Just as God promised David that Solomon would build His house and establish His kingdom forever (1 Chronicles 22:10), we can trust God to use our faithfulness to bless future generations.
