This past Sunday, our Lead Pastor, Ben Johnson, preached a message entitled "How to Live a Legacy". Pastor Ben invited us to reflect on the impact of our lives and the legacy we are called to leave for Christ. He highlighted that life is a trust, drawing from Philippians 3:12 to remind us to press on toward the purpose for which Christ has called us. He emphasized that life is also a test, where trials shape and mature us. He also encouraged us to see life as a temporary assignment, pointing to Philippians 3:20 and our citizenship in heaven. Rooted in gratitude, Pastor Ben called us to live with purpose, perseverance, and faithfulness. This message challenges us to live intentionally, leaving a legacy that reflects Christ's love and grace.

"I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me. God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus." Philippians 1:3-8 NIV
