Ruth 4.13-22
As the story of Ruth comes to a close, the camera pulls back from the love story of Boaz and Ruth and revisits the plight of Naomi. When she left for Moab, she was full of family, future, and hope. When she returned from Moab she was bitter, broken, and empty - and childless. But God has not left her, and in his love for her has orchestrated the marriage of Boaz and Ruth so that they could give birth to a grandson who would refresh her soul. The camera then pulls back even further, and we see that this son, Obed, becomes the father of Jesse, who in turn becomes the father of the great King David!

Legacy
What kind of legacy will you leave to your children? Your grandchildren? Your great-grandchildren? How are you setting yourself up for long term spiritual growth? How are you using your time to accelerate your spiritual growth? How are you nuturing your children's faith? Are you becoming more like Jesus? The things we do today are amplified over time. Plan today for tomorrow. Leave the right legacy. Begin with the end in mind.

Acts 20 : Paul's Farewell Speech - more than just a long goodbye!
In his farewell address on January 11, 1989 just before he left office, President Ronald Reagan stated he was most proud of the resurgence of national pride which he called “the new patriotism”. But at the same time he voiced concern. America was on the edge of the 90s, the culture was changing. Children being raised at that time were not being taught what it means to be American. His overarching concern was that the future generations of America would forget their roots and America would lose its historical identity and its national spirit. Paul's address to the Ephesian Elders reads much the same and has similar concerns. He gives an account of his conduct, sacrifices and commitments and challenges them to carry on the very same goals that he and the other Apostles received from the Lord Jesus Christ. And he warns them what is at stake. Unless they protect what has been entrusted to them, their ability to continue the work Jesus began will be undermined.

The Forerunner: John the Baptist
John the Baptist The Man, The Message, and the legacy. Jesus called John the greatest man born of woman. It wasn't because of his appearance, or how much money he had, It was because he submitted his life to Christ as we are all to do. The kingdom of heaven is near, just like it was in John's day. Jesus is coming soon the question is will we be ready. Will we be able to say that we have allowed Jesus to be more and self to be less?

On the Shoulders of Giants
As we look back in history, we should be challenged AND encouraged by the godly example of so many who have gone before us! As we seek to build the kingdom of God in our day – we do so – "on the shoulders of giants!" Hebrews 11 tells us that the "world was not worthy of them!" Will history say the same of us? During these next few weeks, we are going to be looking together at the mission we believe God has called us to live out in our city and region. As we talk of the impact He would have us to have on the world around us, I pray that you will be personally challenged to step into His call on your life. There are two basics that anchor everything we do: Loving People... And Following Jesus! Key Passage: Hebrews 11:13 & 38
