Long Lasting Legacy

We are called to view children as God sees them, as the future of His kingdom and the legacy by which those who have come before are judged. Children need shaping, direction and most of all release. And not just from their parents. All are called to be an influence and a contributor to that legacy. Adam Barnett shares from Psalm 127 as we continue our Shift series.
