Sermon: “Legacy Giving” from Marc Swenson

“Pay it forward” has become a familiar phrase—whether it’s buying coffee for the person behind you, covering someone’s groceries, or picking up a stranger’s dinner. But what if we could pay it forward long after we’re gone? When we think about legacy, we often think about what we’ll be remembered for or what we’ll leave behind. But Scripture invites us to think about legacy in a much bigger way. This Sunday, we’ll look at an extraordinary moment in King David’s life and discover what it means to live today with generations we may never meet in mind. Join us as we continue our For Generations to Come series with a message called Legacy Giving.

Scripture References: 1 Chronicles 29:1-9, 1 Chronicles 29:17-20

From Series: "For Generations to Come"

This is an exciting season in the life of FCCO! This fall, we’re launching For Generations to Come—a capital campaign designed to create physical spaces where ministry can flourish, lives can be changed, and people can grow as followers of Jesus for years to come. Psalm 78:4, 6 captures the heart behind this vision: “We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD, his power, and the wonders he has done… so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children.” For generations, faithful people have prayed, served, sacrificed, and given so that we could experience the ministry we enjoy at FCCO today. Now it’s our turn. We’ll explore how each of us can be part of what God is doing—not simply by building for today, but by investing in people we may never meet. Join us each Sunday this fall as we discover how our giving, serving, sharing, hope, and priorities can leave a legacy of faith For Generations to Come.
