A Godly Legacy - Part 2

Text: Colossians 3:17

---

What are you handing down to those in your family? There is nothing more important than to give them a Godly legacy. Listen as Pastor Thad continues this study on the family.

Review:
* Legacy - something passed down from one generation to another. Are you rooted in Christ? (see Col. 2:6-7)

* A Key Verse - Colossians 3:17 “Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.”
    Word - meaning anything spoken; referring to the tongue. (see also James 3)
    Deed  - meaning one’s actions or behavior. 

* What a father or mother does in moderation; a child could completely embrace.

This Week:

    3) Tolerance - leeway for variation from a certain standard.
    4) Feminism - the belief in the social, political, economic and religious equality of the sexes.
    5) Addictions - the condition of being habitually or compulsively occupied with or involved in something
