Leaving a legacy! How do you do that? It is the focus at church for the next month.
80 years ago this month – 63 like-minded people in Algiers, LA, joined together to start a church. A church that would make followers of Jesus Christ despite the culture surrounding it, despite a hurricane that destroyed the region just six years ago…. 63 people who had no idea what the future held but knew that they wanted to make a difference in someone’s life.
What kind of legacy am I leaving? In whose life am I making a difference? Will the things I teach the girls carry over into the next generation and the next?
Pastor Michael – God has CHOSEN and CALLED us to be His and to bring other to Him; to leave the legacy that we has chosen and called us to, we have to be COMMITTED and COURAGEOUS!
Thankful for the sermon that pierced my heart (1035) and for a church that is committed and courageous in a dark city (1036). Overwhelming gratitude to the 63 people who joined together 80 years ago to start a church (1037).
And I continue to count! Praying that the legacy I leave is one of gratitude and thanksgiving….
