Message: “The Legacy Question”:

Big idea:I will tell a story that I am proud to tell.

The legacy question: What story do I

?

How we write our story

1. We write the story of our lives
   Reveal Answer
   at a time.
2. The
   Reveal Answer
   we are wrestling with right now are going to be nothing more than a
   Reveal Answer
   we tell someday.
3. God desires for us to be able to tell our
   Reveal Answer
   without skipping any parts or having to lie about the details.
4. When it comes to big decisions it is almost impossible to be objective because of our
   Reveal Answer
   .

How to write a God-honoring story Lessons from Joseph’s story

Reveal Answer

into the moments that follow.

3. Joseph refused to

Reveal Answer

but instead

Reveal Answer

to other people’s decisions.

Our goal
We will

our way into a story that we will be

Reveal Answer

to tell.

MY NEXT STEP TODAY IS TO:
 Can you identify a decision in the past that served as the beginning of a new and better chapter in the story of your life? What about a decision that introduced a chapter you would rather forget?

 What was the catalyst for those decisions? Either a decision that sent you in a good direction OR a bad direction.

 Do you know anyone whose story through no fault of their own set them up to write a story characterized by bitterness and resentment, but somehow they decided their story in a healthy direction?

 Confess your regrets so you can experience God’s forgiveness.
 Trust and follow Jesus today.
