Core Scripture: Hebrews 11:1-40 Questions:
- What is a legacy? How would you define this? How is legacy a way that we live beyond our lives?
- How does a legacy affect people later? What choices help us leave this kind of legacy?
- How does a legacy affect people now? What choices help us leave this kind of legacy?
- How did the people listed in Hebrews 11 leave a legacy? What are some of the Wise Choices that they made that helped to write their legacies?
- What Wise Choices can you make right now that will help determine your legacy? What are some of the things that make it hard to make these choices? How can this group help to encourage you to make these choices?
A little something extra:
Bring in copies of current periodicals such as Time, Newsweek, USA Today, and your local newspaper. Divide your students into as many groups as you have publications and ask each group to find examples in the periodical of someone who is leaving a legacy (either positive or negative) that is either affecting people now or will affect people in the future (or both). After a few minutes, bring the students back together and have each group share the legacy it found. After students describe each legacy, talk for a moment about the choices that person made to create this legacy and whether those choices are wise.
Encourage your students to go home this week and take the time to write out what they what their legacy to be. Then, encourage them to be proactive this week in making choices that will allow their legacy to become a reality now.
