Brian Houston, the founder and former lead pastor of Hillsong Church has returned to the pulpit in the US.On 21st August, in what seemed to be his first pulpit appearance since his resignation, Houston said that God doesn’t write people off as men do and that he still has “so much more” to give.The Evangelist encouraged the congregation of the Christian Faith Center, Seattle in his sermon titled, “A Legacy That Outlasts You” not to allow their mistakes, failings or brokenness to define the legacy they leave behind.He said, “Legacy is just a commitment that you’re going to live according to God’s purposes in your life. When purpose and destiny and legacy collide, it’s like a combustible force. When we attach our lives to God’s purpose, it creates a legacy. It’s the most wonderful way we can live our lives.”“We can decide, my mistakes, my failings, my failures here, my brokenness over there, the fact that I got ripped off here, I was offended over there, we can let those things decide our legacy. But that’s not what should determine our legacy. It’s so much more than that,” he added.Houston pointed to the biblical King David from the Old Testament to drive home his message that someone’s failures should not define their legacy.In September 2018, citing the growing global nature of the church, Houston, announced that Hillsong Church had split from Australia’s largest Pentecostal denomination to become a denomination of its own.Hillsong Church had been a part of the Australian Christian Churches, a branch of the World Assemblies of God Fellowship, the largest Pentecostal denomination in the world.At the time, Hillsong Church had 123 campuses and locations, with 263 different church services on any given weekend in 24 countries worldwide.ALSO READ Hillsong Church To Revamp Global Board To At Least 40% Female
