Heirlooms: those physical items which are handed down to family members through the generations. Most families have one, a knick-knack or a valued object. Many times, it comes with a story, a memory from the past.

In the Spirit, there are heirlooms in our faith which have been handed down through the generations. The problem is many in the church prefer the new trend, the flashy and the modern. There is nothing wrong with this, but it is a problem if one forgets about the heirloom of heritage of our spiritual ancestors.

In agriculture, there are heirloom seeds. These are seeds which are not mass produced but rather are varieties of the same crop. They usually are better at withstanding drought, plague and other natural environmental problems. But, they are not “perfect” in their image. A carrot that is purple; a tomato that is not symmetrical. But they bring strength and increased nutrition.

This week, Pastor David begins a new series on Spiritual Heirlooms. Let us look at the spiritual seeds that our spiritual ancestors sowed into the earth. Let us learn from them and apply them.

Some of the seeds that need to be tended to are spiritual warfare, holiness and repentance, the priesthood of the Believer, and an urgency for the return of Jesus.

“This is what the LORD says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’” Jeremiah 6:16
