Everyone leaves something behind. Some leave assets, others leave debts. Some leave a name that opens doors, others leave a name no one wants to remember. But no one passes through this earth without leaving anything. The question is not whether you will leave a legacy. The question is which one.
This book was born from four sermons I preached at IBRC Pelotas, at very different times. One was preached in front of a camera, with the sanctuary closed, at a time when we could not hug anyone. Another was on a communion night, with three words written on a paper so I wouldn’t lose direction. Another, on a Wednesday, about one of the most well‑known parables of the Bible. And the last, on a December Sunday, closing a difficult year, about a word that was on everyone’s lips: legacy.
When we put these messages together, we realized they speak of the same thing from different angles. They speak of the church, which is not a building but people who lift up people. They speak of the family, God’s project that must be pursued every day. They speak of work, which God gave to man even before sin entered. They speak of a son who left home with his inheritance too early and the Father who waited for him on the road. And they speak of what remains of us when we are no longer here.
