Sermon Title: One Month to Live - Leave Boldly
"If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be reavealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. If what he has build survives, he will receive his reward."
Rev. Kerry Shook, author of the book, One Month to Live, writes the following:
"When my kids were little I used to enjoy watching them build sand castles on the beach. I mean, they would work so hard for hours, and Chris and I would always have to be lathering them up with sunscreen on their back to keep them from getting burned and they would build tunnels and bridges and high walls. But it didn't matter how high they would build the walls and it didn't matter how hard they would work, because the next morning after the tide had rolled in, we would always walk out to the beach to find that all their hard work from the day before had been completely washed away.
I want you to know the reality is, it may feel like every day at the end of the day everything you do down here on this earth gets washed away, but what's really happening is you're building a legacy for all eternity. Everything you do on this earth that gets washed away gets built up in eternity because you're building a lasting legacy."
What is the legacy that you and I are building? Is it something lasting, that will impact ourselves and others for all eternity? This coming Sunday I will speak about how to build and leave a legacy that counts. Hope to see you then.
