What will remain of your life when your life is over?

In the final message of The Well-Lived Life, Senior Pastor Jeffrey Smith presents one of life's most important questions: What kind of legacy are we leaving behind?

Drawing from the Apostle Paul's words in 2 Timothy 4:6-8, we discover that a meaningful legacy is not measured by wealth, recognition, or accomplishments, but by faithfulness to God and what we invest in eternity.

Our legacy is shaped by how we steward what God has entrusted to us, the lives we influence, and the biblical truth we faithfully preserve and pass on to future generations.

As we conclude this eight-part series, we are reminded that a well-lived life invests deeply in things that will still matter when that life is over.

Part 8 | Legacy: Live For What Outlives You

November 8, 2026

What does it really mean to live a rich life? Is it measured by what we accumulate, or by what we are willing to give away?

In Part 7 of The Well-Lived Life, Pastor Jeffrey Smith challenges us to rethink our understanding of wealth, possessions, and generosity. Through 2 Corinthians 9:6-11, we discover that everything we have ultimately belongs to God, that our possessions can easily begin to possess us, and that God's blessings were never intended to stop with us. Biblical generosity is not simply about how much we give. Rather, it is about the condition of our hearts and our willingness to trust God with what He has entrusted to us.

A well-lived life is not measured merely by what passes through our hands, but by what leaves our hands to bless someone else. Discover why generosity must become more than an occasional act and instead become an intentional, consistent expression of our worship, gratitude, and faith in God.

Part 7 | Generosity: Live Open-Handed

November 1, 2026

The people closest to you have a profound influence on the person you become. They shape your thinking, influence your decisions, strengthen your faith, and sometimes even determine the direction of your life.

In Part 6 of The Well-Lived Life, Senior Pastor Jeffrey Dean Smith explores the biblical wisdom of choosing relationships intentionally. Drawing from Proverbs 13:20 and other key passages, he reminds us that God never designed us to live in isolation. We need people who encourage us, challenge us, hold us accountable, and help us grow closer to Jesus Christ.

Discover why meaningful relationships require intentional investment and how the people you choose to walk beside you can help shape a life well lived.

The central truth: You cannot choose everyone who enters your life, but you must carefully choose who shapes your life.
