5-11-25, Pastor Tim Baker, "A Mother's Legacy", 2 Timothy 1:1-7

A MOTHER'S LEGACY:1.     Is a pedigree passed on to others. (v. 3-5)The pedigree of service (v. 3-4)“I thank God whom I serve, as did my ancestors, with a clear conscience, as I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day. As I remember your tears, I long to see you, that I may be filled with joy.” 2 Timothy 1:3–4 (ESV)The pedigree of sincere faith (v. 5)“I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well.” 2 Timothy 1:5 (ESV)2.     Is a pursuit you press on toward personally. (v. 6-7)The pursuit of igniting your spiritual gift (v. 6)“For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands…” 2 Timothy 1:6 (ESV)“Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4:10 (NIV)The pursuit of spiritual boldness (v. 7)“for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” 2 Timothy 1:7 (ESV)“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?” Matthew 6:25–27 (NIV)Mothers, thank you for your legacy! I pray you will think carefully about the legacy you are leaving and will pursue your walk with Christ passionately, so you have something to leave worth passing on. Moms, if you were to die today, what kind of legacy would you leave?  YouTube https://www.youtube.com/live/x0KojABkyFo?si=ibusrpnmM2_PBZ8jWebsite https://www.bethanybaptistchurch.com/sermons
