- 0:03Speaker 1: It is time right now for today's word. A father's legacy,
- 0:10Speaker 1: A father's legacy. Psalms one five and four says one
- 0:14Speaker 1: generation shall praise your works to another, and shall declare
- 0:19Speaker 1: your mighty acts. You know, when people think about legacy,
- 0:24Speaker 1: they often think about money, they think about property, they
- 0:28Speaker 1: think about accomplishments. But the greatest legacy a father can
- 0:34Speaker 1: leave is a legacy of faith. Throughout the scriptures, we
- 0:39Speaker 1: see the importance of passing faith from one generation to
- 0:42Speaker 1: the next. A father's influence extends far beyond his lifetime.
- 0:48Speaker 1: The prayers he praised, the values he teaches, and the
- 0:52Speaker 1: example he sets can impact children and grandchildren and generations
- 0:57Speaker 1: to come. Many fathers don't realize the power of their
- 1:03Speaker 1: own words. A simple encouragement can build confidence for a lifetime.
- 1:09Speaker 1: A prayer spoken over a child can become a source
- 1:12Speaker 1: of strength for years to come. A father's decision to
- 1:16Speaker 1: trust God during difficult season teaches his family how to
- 1:20Speaker 1: stand strong when challenges arise. See, you may not feel
- 1:26Speaker 1: like you're changing the world, but every time you choose
- 1:30Speaker 1: faith over fear, every time you choose and model forgiveness.
- 1:34Speaker 1: Every time you teach your children about God's goodness, you're
- 1:39Speaker 1: building a legacy that will absolutely outlive you. Some fathers
- 1:45Speaker 1: may feel that they've made too many mistakes along the way,
- 1:50Speaker 1: so let me share some good news with you. See,
- 1:53Speaker 1: God specializes in redemption. It's never too late to begin
- 1:57Speaker 1: creating a godly life legacy. One prayer, one conversation, one
- 2:03Speaker 1: act of love can start a brand new chapter. As
- 2:08Speaker 1: Father's Day approaches, let's honor the fathers who have faithfully
- 2:12Speaker 1: passed down values, wisdom, and faith. Their impact is far
- 2:17Speaker 1: greater than they may ever realize or know. Hmm, Father God,
- 2:23Speaker 1: thank you. Thank you for the fathers who have invested
- 2:28Speaker 1: in a future generation. Thank you for every prayer. Thank
- 2:31Speaker 1: you for every prayer they've prayed for other people's children,
- 2:37Speaker 1: For every sacrifice they've made. How they've impacted the lives
- 2:42Speaker 1: of not only their families, but those children in their
- 2:46Speaker 1: sphere of influence. Help fathers understand the lasting impact of
- 2:50Speaker 1: their influence. God, let them leave a legacy of faith,
- 2:54Speaker 1: of love, and of godly character that blesses generations to come.
