Build What Will Outlive You
What are you building that will still be standing after you’re gone? Not your title, not your reputation, not what you managed to accumulate — but the people you poured into, the faith you handed off, the work you made sure could continue without you. That’s the question Dr. Andre Bennett brings to Shiloh this Sunday.
Dr. Bennett unpacks Paul’s charge to Timothy: commit what you’ve received to faithful people who can teach it to others. It’s the difference between a life spent collecting and a life spent depositing — and it’s a question every generation of this church has had to answer, from the mothers and fathers who prayed when the way was hard, to the ones now being asked to carry it forward.
This is a sermon about legacy that refuses to be sentimental about it. Legacy isn’t a plaque or a memory — it’s whether the faith, the wisdom, the work you were given actually outlives you in somebody else’s hands. Join us Sunday as we ask together: what will we build that will outlive us?
