This gift if often used to continue ministries started by others. (Acts 17:15)

Men’s Breakfast Topics

Saturday, May 17^th 2025 – Lead like a shepherd with Larry Osborne

There is no lack of leadership theories in circulation today. While they are not without value, as Christians we want to ground all that we do in the Word of God. Fortunately for us, Scripture has much to say about leadership. Pastor and author Larry Osborne turns to 1 Peter 5:1–4 to help church leaders understand what it looks like to shepherd those God has placed in their care. With down-to-earth and relatable teaching, Larry unpacks timeless life lessons from thorough biblical understanding that will help you better grasp the example God desires you to set as a leader.

Saturday, April 20^th2024 – Breakfast together and then serving at Mission Southside.

Legacy’s local missions partners help meet the physical needs of the community. We will distribute food to communities and work in the warehouse of Mission Southside. Many people cannot open their hearts to Christ until the weight of their physical needs has been lifted. We look for opportunities to have meaningful conversations that can lead to spiritual conversations. We have a heart that loves Jesus Christ and one that genuinely cares about the needs of others.

The cost is $5.00. You can pay online in registration or bring cash when you arrive.

Saturday, May 18^th 2024 – Parenting: Paul Tripp (very short/will play 7 or 8 of them)

What is your calling as a parent? In the midst of folding laundry, coordinating carpool schedules, and breaking up fights, many parents get lost. Feeling pressure to do everything “right” and raise up “good” children. It’s easy to lose sight of our ultimate purpose as parents in the quest for practical tips and guaranteed formulas. In his life-giving book, Paul Tripp offers parents much more than a to-do list. Instead, he presents us with a big-picture view of God’s plan for us as parents. Outlining fourteen foundational principles centered on the gospel, he shows that we need more than the latest parenting strategy or list of techniques. Rather, we need the rescuing grace of God-grace that has the power to shape how we view everything we do as parents. https://app.rightnowmedia.org/content/details/303205

Saturday, March 16^th 2024 – Crazy Making – why we keep doing what we don’t want to do (overcoming sin)

Have you ever kept doing something you don’t want to do? We all have these patterns in our lives that we just can’t seem to shake. No matter how disciplined we are, how much willpower we drum up, or how many times we seek accountability, eventually we find ourselves sucked back into repeating the same patterns again. It’s crazy-making! Everyone’s struggle is different. For you, it might look like criticizing, substance abuse, over-working, sexual sin, people-pleasing, or hundreds of others. Jesus has given all of us a way out of these crazy-making cycles, and it has nothing to do with white-knuckling our way to freedom. Join us in this four-week study as we explore where these patterns come from, why we keep repeating them, and how to stop the crazy and live in the freedom Jesus makes possible. https://app.rightnowmedia.org/content/details/568069

Saturday, October 21^st 2023 – God’s Uncommon Man: Tony Dungy and James Brown

Do you ever wonder what it looks like to be a man of faith? In this three-session series, sportscaster James Brown and former NFL coach Tony Dungy will teach us what it means to be an ”uncommon man“—a man who follows God faithfully. Are you ready to take the next step in your life of faith? Learn what it takes in God’s Uncommon Man. https://app.rightnowmedia.org/content/details/770970

Saturday, November 18^th 2023 – Be a Godly man: Joby Martin

God has created men to have incredible strength. But today’s culture has hijacked masculinity, distorting strength into passivity and abuse. In this video Bible study series, pastor Joby Martin invites men to embrace God’s definition of masculinity and to step into His calling upon their lives to wield their strength on behalf of others. God has designed men to be protectors, providers, and defenders. When men act like men, everyone flourishes. https://app.rightnowmedia.org/content/details/257960

Saturday, December 16^th 2023 – Ruthless Elimination of Hurry – John Mark Comer

We are all busy. Some of us can’t remember the last time we rested or even had free time. Our busyness can feel productive but it is a toxic distraction, sapping our spiritual, physical, and emotional vitality. It may seem like we have no choice but to live at a frantic pace, but God has a better path for us. Join pastor and author John Mark Comer in this five-part series as he addresses one of the greatest threats to our spiritual lives: hurry. Instead of allowing our calendars and screens to control our lives, Jesus offers us a new rhythm of life, overflowing with grace, peace, and beauty. https://app.rightnowmedia.org/content/details/729101

Saturday, January 20^th 2024 – The Crazy Cycle – Emerson Eggerichs

We know that divorce is a major issue in our culture today, both inside and outside the church. Despite our best attempts at love, couples find themselves paralyzed by dysfunction and mired in conflict. Why do we face so many seemingly insurmountable problems today? Is there hope for the struggle? What are we missing? In this 4-part series, Dr. Emerson Eggerichs sheds light on an often overlooked, yet indispensable element of a healthy marriage—respect. Combining biblical instruction with scientific expertise, Emerson provides insight into the unique ways in which God has designed both men and women and how they can rightly embrace their differences in marriage. https://app.rightnowmedia.org/content/details/225912

Faith Beyond the Finish Line: Staying Connected After Graduation

Your faith journey doesn’t end at graduation — it’s just getting started.

At Legacy, we have a strategic plan to make disciples of everyone who attends our church. A key part of this plan is Legacy Landmarks, which guide individuals from infancy through a person’s development. One such milestone is high school graduation—a pivotal moment both in life and in a disciple’s journey with Jesus. It’s a time when a student leaves home and must decide if he or she is going to continue to grow in faith. Our goal is for every student to remain faithful and become a disciple-maker wherever life takes them.

Unfortunately, many don’t. A 2019 study by Barna Research, an evangelical polling firm, revealed that 64% of students leave their faith after high school. It’s important to note that this doesn’t mean the remaining 36% are growing spiritually—only that they attend church semi-regularly.^[i]

Lifeway Research identified five main reasons young adults (ages 18–22) leave the faith:

They moved to college and didn’t prioritize church.
Church members appeared judgmental or hypocritical.
They lacked meaningful connections within the church.
They disagreed with the church’s views on political or social issues.
Work responsibilities got in the way.^[ii]

To address this, authors David Kinnaman and Mark Matlock wrote Faith for Exiles: 5 Ways for a New Generation to Follow Jesus in Digital Babylon.^[iii] Their research found that only 1 in 10 young Christians are what they call “resilient disciples”—those who continue following Jesus despite cultural pressures. These resilient disciples share five key traits:

A personal commitment to Jesus.
Belief in Jesus’ death and resurrection.
Active involvement in Christian community beyond Sunday services.
Confidence in the Bible as the true and inspired word of God.
A faith that remains relevant in today’s world, often expressed through statements like:
- “I want to follow Jesus in a way that connects with the world I live in.”
- “God is working outside the Church, and I want to be part of that.”
- “I want to be a Christian without isolating myself from the world.”

Research shows that students with a strong biblical foundation and a faith-based community are far more likely to grow spiritually after graduation. At Legacy, we partner with families to help students build that foundation, and after graduation, we aim to equip you with resources to stay connected and keep growing in your faith through this next stage of life.

Senior Checklist

Here are some steps to think through as you enter the next phase of your life:

If you’re staying in town, join a “College-age” life group at Legacy to stay connected with people your age.
Before moving on campus, google the local churches and campus ministries to get plugged in.
- Google “Churches/on campus ministries near ______”
- Click on the websites of different churches.
- On the website, read their vision, mission, and belief statements.
- Make a list of the churches and on campus ministries that align with your biblical beliefs.
Try out the churches and on-campus ministries you researched.
After about a month or two, choose a church and ministry to call home, start serving, and join a life group!
Don’t forget that we’re here for you! Legacy’s leaders want to continue to encourage you as you walk with God into the next stage of your life!
