Seated with Inheritance - Part 1

Walking: Fellowship of the Burning Hearts - Part 3

We can understand why legacy is important and we can even pass the legacy tests daily. But without a Holy Spirit led examination of our inner world, we risk passing along a legacy that is unhealthy. The question is not if we will pass legacy to others, but rather, how healthy will our legacy be. Using 2 Timothy 3 and Deuteronomy 11, let's look at two of the four practices necessary to ensure a healthier legacy.
