Heart For The Kingdom: A Kingdom Legacy (Week 5)
Preacher: Daniel Erasmus
Worship:
Song Suggestion: I’ve Witnessed Your Faithfulness – Passion
As you worship, be specific in thanking God for His faithfulness.
Check-in:
Legacy is about what lives beyond us. Take a moment to share:
- Who has left a spiritual legacy that has impacted your life?
Synopsis of message:
This week we closed our Heart for the Kingdom series with a powerful reminder: Legacy is not built in a day, but in daily decisions.
Psalm 112:6 says, “Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered forever.”
Legacy isn’t about fame or possessions – it’s about living for what lasts: God’s Kingdom. When your life is lived for the Kingdom, your legacy will outlast your days.
Key Themes:
- Legacy People Think Eternally
- They see beyond comfort and convenience.
- They live with an eternal mindset (2 Corinthians 4:18; John 4:35).
- Legacy People Understand Sacrifice
- They choose to do less for themselves so they can do more for others.
- Sacrificial generosity invests in eternity (Matthew 6:19–20).
- Legacy People Sense Urgency
- They don’t wait for “one day”—they act today (Ephesians 5:15–16).
- Legacy is built through small, faithful “today” moments.
Bottom Line: What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others, lives beyond us.
Scripture Focus:
- Psalm 112:5–6
- Matthew 6:19–21
- 2 Corinthians 4:18
- John 4:35
- Hebrews 6:10
- Ephesians 5:15–16
Discussion Questions:
- Eternal Perspective
- How does thinking eternally change the way you live today?
- What does it mean to “fix your eyes on what is unseen” in practical terms?
- Sacrificial Generosity
- Why is sacrifice essential to leaving a Kingdom legacy?
- What is one area where God might be calling you to live more open-handed?
- Urgency and Action
- What’s one “today” step you can take to live for the Kingdom?
- How can this group encourage each other to act now, not “one day”?
- Heart for the Kingdom Offering
- How does giving become an act of worship rather than obligation?
- What excites you most about the vision for 2026 and beyond?
Prayer Moment:
- Thank God for His faithfulness over the last year – be specific.
- Break Bread together and thank Jesus for his sacrificial generosity in giving up His life so that we and others might live.
- Pray: “Lord, help me live with an eternal mindset, a sacrificial heart, and a sense of urgency.”
- Pray for the Heart for the Kingdom Offering – that it would advance God’s mission and bless others.
- Ask God to strengthen our faith as we step into the Jubilee year By Faith.
Next Step:
This week, I will:
- Take one intentional step toward living a Kingdom legacy (e.g., generosity, serving, sharing faith).
- Pray daily: “God, help me live today in a way that will be remembered for eternity.”
