In the second sermon of the mini-series on serving, Pastor Terry Mahan delves into the theme of leaving a lasting legacy. He begins with a scene from Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," prompting individuals to contemplate the impact they want to have at their funeral.

Pastor Terry encourages the congregation to "begin with the end in mind" by acknowledging the inevitability of mortality and reflecting on the legacy they'll leave behind. He emphasizes that a legacy isn't defined solely by achievements or possessions but by the impact on others and the values upheld.

Referencing the Apostle Paul's greetings in Romans 16, Pastor Terry highlights the diverse roles and contributions within the early Christian community. He underscores that true legacy is about impacting lives, not seeking recognition.

The sermon concludes with a challenge to reflect on one's life's "one-liner" and emphasizes that the past does not define a person. Pastor Terry leaves the congregation with Ephesians 2:8-10, reminding them of their role as God's masterpiece, created to do good works.

Ultimately, the message inspires the congregation to lead a life of selfless service and create a legacy that reflects God's grace and purpose.
