Beyond Today: A Faith That Lasts

Family Friday #13

What will your grandkids say about your home? Imagine them gathering years from now, sharing stories about how grandma prayed boldly at the dinner table or how grandpa trusted God through every storm. Imagine them passing down the same gospel-rich legacy you first planted in your living room. This isn’t just wishful thinking—it's God's joyful design.

Psalm 78:6 gives us this beautiful vision:

"…that the next generation might know them, the children yet unborn, and arise and tell them to their children."

God is writing a story much larger than any one of us. Your home today—your prayers, your faithfulness, your honest conversations about Jesus—will ripple outward, shaping the lives of grandchildren and great-grandchildren you may never even meet. Just like Abraham’s trust in God laid the foundation for generations, your daily decisions now carry eternal significance.

Think about the impact your home can have—not merely for today or tomorrow, but for generations to come. Picture your children's children rejoicing in the truth of the gospel because it first took root in your everyday moments. The routines you establish, the faithfulness you model, and the prayers you pray become the fertile ground from which future generations will draw their strength.

This week, gather your family and talk openly about your dreams and prayers for the future. Share with them your hope that the love of Christ would flourish in your family long after your own lifetime. Perhaps tell them your vision—that years from now, descendants yet unborn will trace their own love for Jesus back to your simple acts of faithfulness.

At Redeemer, we believe the gospel isn't fragile—it's unstoppable. It's not fading—it's multiplying. Your family's legacy isn't built by chance, but through the intentional, everyday moments when you lift Jesus high.

Jesus is planting your family's legacy right now—water it, nurture it, and trust Him to bring abundant fruit through generations to come.
