Leaving a Cross-Centered Inheritance

📖 Introduction

Welcome to this 7-day Bible study plan on "Leaving a Cross-Centered Inheritance." As men, we often think about what legacy we will leave behind — financial assets, worldly achievements, or titles. However, the most enduring inheritance isn’t about money or possessions, but rather the spiritual gifts, faith, and character we pass on to those we love.

In this journey, we will explore biblical truths about how men can intentionally cultivate a spiritual legacy rooted in Christ’s love and power. Our guiding conviction is that a godly inheritance reflects the heart of the cross, revealing God’s grace, mercy, and strength in the next generation.

Throughout Scripture, men like Abraham, Joseph, David, Paul, and Timothy demonstrate how God’s gifts and faithfulness enabled them to leave lasting spiritual impacts. Today's culture often prioritizes material success, but Jesus redirected our focus: "...store up for yourselves treasures in heaven" (Matthew 6:20). This study encourages you to examine what spiritual gifts God has given you and how you can purposefully develop and deposit those gifts in the lives of others.

Each day includes a primary Scripture reading with supporting verses, a devotional to inspire your heart, reflection questions to deepen your understanding, journaling prompts to personalize your journey, and a prayer to guide your conversations with God. May this time be transformative as you embrace your role as a spiritual leader and mentor, empowered to leave a cross-centered inheritance that lasts long beyond your earthly life.
