CREATING MEMORIALS

Leaving a Legacy

 Joshua 3:12-17 & Joshua 4:14-24

What are ways that the local church can create memorials; ways that we can pass on a godly heritage to our children.

The answer:

• We must tell our stories.

• We must finish our race well.

First: Tell the stories.

Our continued faithfulness as a church body will create stories and memories that will live on long after we are gone.

Secondly: We must finish our race well.

 II Timothy 4:6-8

A life poured out for God is our greatest offering.

 II Timothy 4:6 (only)

Listen to the words of Jesus.

Matthew 6:19-21
