Summary

We want our life to count. David is no different, which we see in his last words to leave a legacy for others. Definition of legacy: long-lasting impact of a person’s life. The way to leave a legacy is to live a legacy: discipleship.

Key Takeaways

  • Learning From David
    • L: Live with your end in mind (1 Chronicles 28:8).
    • E: Execute (kill the killers). Put to death sin and put on Christ.
    • G: God (of the Gospel). Know, serve, and seek Him.
    • A: Appointed by God. You have a calling to walk in and complete.
    • C: Consecrated (make sacred). Dedicate to a divine purpose.
    • Y: Yearn. Pray God’s promises back to God (1 Chronicles 29:10-19).
  • Looking through David
    • The ultimate legacy of David is found in his far-off son, the greater David, Jesus Christ (Matthew 1:1-17). Just as God had promised in His covenant with David back in 2 Samuel 7 to build him a house, a dynasty, so He fulfilled His promise to usher in His kingdom through His only begotten Son. Through Christ’s perfect life, obedience, suffering, death, resurrection and ascension, those who trust in Him are dead to sin, alive to God in Christ Jesus, and seated with Him in the heavenly places (Romans 6; Ephesians 2). Now, from this position, Christians can live and leave a legacy.

Discussing and Applying the Sermon

  • Are you living with your own mortality and the mortality of others in mind? How does this kind of thinking free us from fear?
  • What sin(s) do you need to put to death in you today? Read Romans 6-8. What is the role of the indwelling Holy Spirit in this work? How can your community group help you as you pursue freedom in Christ?
  • What distracts you from seeking the Lord? What are practical steps you can take to seek the Lord this week? How can we help each other in these pursuits?
  • Are you in a season of drifting from the mission of knowing God and making him known? What is pulling you away from that mission?
  • Is there any aspect of your life you are withholding from the Lord? Why?
  • How can we cultivate a yearning for God as individuals and in our church?
