ADVANCE for Legacy

What kind of faith will you leave behind?

In this message, Pastor Chris Jessee shares that legacy, according to Scripture, is not about inheritance or reputation—it’s about investing truth, faith, and love into others while we live. Drawing from Exodus 40, Psalm 78, and Philippians 4, he explains that God calls His people to build lives that display His glory, teach His truth, and model His goodness so that generations to come might know and trust Him.

Through vivid illustrations, biblical teaching, and a powerful testimony from longtime Metro Life members Lewis and Susan Seifert, this sermon reminds us that legacy is built one act of obedience at a time. It challenges us to guard the voices shaping our hearts, remain devoted to the local church, and rely on Christ—the only One who redeems our broken legacies and empowers us by His Spirit to live faithfully.

Key Takeaways

• Legacy begins with God’s glory, not our accomplishments. His presence is the foundation for faith that endures.

• Legacy grows as we teach and model the truth. What we live and teach today shapes the faith of others tomorrow.

• Legacy endures through Christ and the Holy Spirit. Our failures are redeemed by Jesus, and our obedience is empowered by His Spirit.

• Legacy is built in community. God designed discipleship to happen in the local church, where truth is taught, lived, and passed on through relationship.
