12 Legacy - The Importance of Finishing Well

November 27, 2022 • Pastor Doug Forman • 1 Kings 2:1–4

Give

This week marks the conclusion of our fall series that has sought to answer this one question, "What is the true measure of a life?"

Our model for this weighty consideration has been king David who has proven to be a truly complex human being. That's good news for us, because we tend to be complex human beings and yet his life is proof that it's possible to please God in life and in death.

It is our prayer that this brief series will equip each of us to do the very same thing with the one brief life we've been given to live.

07 Legacy - Guard Your Heart

October 16, 2022 • Pastor Doug Forman • 2 Samuel 11

We live in an age where sexual sin is rapidly being erased as a category of sin. It's in the air that we breathe and it's wreaking havoc on lives, marriages, and ministries. This week we will look at David's sin with Bathsheba. It's a dark chapter in his life that was the product of an unguarded and unbound heart that led to sin compounding on sin to devastating effect. This is obviously a sensitive topic for younger attenders. We will keep our consideration at a PG level but parents of younger children may want to watch this first and decide if they want their younger children to view the message. If so, a family discussion about the message after it has finished is advised.

11 Legacy - A Heart to Worship

November 20, 2022 • Pastor Doug Forman • Psalm 65

It is a truism to say that everyone worships someone or something and what we worship shapes the trajectory of our life. Therefore, what we worship has a direct connection to the legacy we leave for others. David was a man who, despite his struggles and imperfections, had a heart to worship our God. This week, as we anticipate Thanksgiving, we will consider David's legacy of worship as preserved for us in Psalm 65. It is our prayer that you would build your life on right worship that will inspire others and lead them to Christ.

06 Legacy - More Than My Intentions

October 9, 2022 • Pastor Doug Forman • 2 Samuel 6:1–15

Have you ever had an experience where what you intended to do was not what you actually did? Most of us would say, yes, and the results are often called "accidents." The fact is, however, that most accidents aren't really accidents at all. They're the natural outcomes of poor choices that had unintended consequences. This week we will see king David intend to do something good but it ended in tragedy because of a series of poor choices. Each of us needs to wrestle with the fact that, in the end, our Legacy will not be measured by what we intended to do, but by the choices we actually made.
