The Problem of Legacy and the Gift of Counsel

Today, I want to talk about legacy and counsel… Two subjects that are present all over this passage today, but two timeless subjects that have historic consequences… but also take shape in our own lives today… How are we as Christians to think about legacy and the shadows it leaves in our lives, and how do we to take and consider counsel? When we hear counsel from others whether it is sought, or just given. How do we receive it and put it to use? 

We're going to see this today from the wake left from Solomon's life that his legacy unfortunately, leads to disunity. For us, the legacy of the gospel is one of unity in the body of Christ. 

So, let's look at three points today – 
1. The shadows of Legacy, 
2. The confusion of Counsel, and 
3. The gift of Unity.
