The life you live today determines the legacy you leave tomorrow.

Do not be deceived:\\xa0God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Galatians 6:7-9 (NIV)

You reap what you sow\\u2026 Later than you sow\\u2026 More than you sow.

Whoever sows to please their flesh,\\xa0from the flesh will reap destruction;\\xa0whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.\\xa0Let us not become weary in doing good,\\xa0for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have the opportunity, let us do good\\xa0to all people, especially to those who belong to the family\\xa0of believers. Galatians 6:7-9 (NIV)

By the grace God has given me,\\xa0I laid a foundation\\xa0as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care.\\xa0For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw,\\xa0their work will be shown for what it is,\\xa0because the Day\\xa0will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person\\u2019s work. If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved\\u2014even though only as one escaping through the flames. 1 Corinthians 3:10-14 (NIV)

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us\\xa0for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. 2 Corinthians 5:10 (NIV)

Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth,\\xa0which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God,\\xa0who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.\\xa0Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds,\\xa0and to be generous and willing to share.\\xa0In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves\\xa0as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of\\xa0the life that is truly life. 1 Timothy 6:17-19 (NIV)

1. Correct our VISION

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth,\\xa0where moths and vermin destroy,\\xa0and where thieves break in and steal.\\xa0But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven,\\xa0where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:19-21 (NIV)

2. Act like a STEWARD, not an OWNER.

You may say to yourself,\\xa0\\u201cMy power and the strength of my hands\\xa0have produced this wealth for me.\\u201d\\xa0But remember the\\xa0Lord\\xa0your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth\\u2026 Deuteronomy 8:17-18 (NIV)

\\u201cWill a mere mortal rob\\xa0God? Yet you rob me. \\u201cBut you ask, \\u2018How are we robbing you?\\u2019 \\u201cIn tithes\\xa0and offerings.\\xa0You are under a curse\\u2014your whole nation\\u2014because you are robbing me.\\xa0Bring the whole tithe\\xa0into the storehouse,\\xa0that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,\\u201d says the\\xa0Lord\\xa0Almighty, \\u201cand see if I will not throw open the floodgates\\xa0of heaven and pour out\\xa0so much blessing\\xa0that there will not be room enough to store it.\\xa0I will prevent pests from devouring\\xa0your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,\\u201d says the\\xa0Lord Almighty. \\u201cThen all the nations will call you blessed,\\xa0for yours will be a delightful land,\\u201d\\xa0says the\\xa0Lord\\xa0Almighty. Malachi 3:8-11 (NIV)

3. Live with an OPEN HAND

Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 2 Corinthians 9:6 (NIV)

December 9th \\u2013 Legacy Vision Night

Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give,\\xa0not reluctantly or under compulsion,\\xa0for God loves a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:7 (NIV)

Then he said to his disciples,\\xa0\\u201cThe harvest\\xa0is plentiful but the workers are few.\\xa0Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.\\u201d Matthew 9:37-38 (NIV)
