LEGACY: Putting a Stamp on Your World

// March 25th, 2010 // Elevate Update, Spiritual

NEW STUDENT MESSAGE SERIES: “LEGACY – Putting a Stamp on Our World”

There are several “global giants” that are afflicting people around the world: spiritual emptiness, egocentric leadership, extreme poverty, pandemic disease, and rampant illiteracy. Most of these have been around since Jesus’ time. The Bible offers a strategy for responding to each of these issues: planting churches, equipping servant leaders, assisting the poor, caring for the sick, and educating the next generation.

This new five-week student message series explores the issues and biblical responses to each of these giants threatening humanity. The goal of this series is to help students become better educated and more involved with addressing these problems. Each week we will discuss with students what they can do as individuals, what their small group can do, what our student ministry can do, and what our congregation can do. This is a great chance for students to apply what they are learning and to make an impact on the world.

Here’s how it will break down week-by-week:

• Week 1: Spiritual Emptiness vs. Planting Churches (1 Corinthians 3:5-9
• Week 2: Egocentric Leadership vs. Equipping Servant Leaders (Zechariah 10:2)
• Week 3: Extreme Poverty vs. Assisting the Poor (1 John 3:14-20)
• Week 4: Pandemic Disease vs. Caring for the Sick (James 5:14)
• Week 5: Rampant Illiteracy vs. Educating the Next Generation (Psalm 78:1-7)
