Make an IMPACT
The Bible teaches us that tithing is an act of obedience and that we should trust God with every aspect of our lives, which also includes our finances. Sacrificing a portion of our income helps us look beyond ourselves and makes us more aware of the needs of others. We offer many ways for you to make an IMPACT and give back. Take a look at some of the options below:

What is the reason for the season?
Christmas is God giving the world something we desperately needed then, and still desperately need now… HOPE.
God does His greatest work when everything looks impossible… and He does it through the details we often overlook.
Where does that kind of hope come from?
1. God is Working a Plan You Can’t Always See.
Even when you know God has a plan… there are still moments when life doesn’t make sense.
2. When You Can’t Connect The Dots, God Already Sees the Picture.
What feels like a hassle to you… may be the miracle God is working for you.
3. God Does the Impossible When We Stop Trying to Control It.
“God, I trust You more than I trust my ability to control the outcome.”
Surrender is the Doorway to Hope.
Where are you gripping the reins so tightly that hope doesn’t have room to breathe?
Action Steps for this Week:
Hope doesn’t grow by accident… it grows when we take a step toward trust. This week don’t just reflect on the message… live it out in simple, intentional ways.
Action Steps:
1. Loosen Your Grip on One Thing
Take a few quiet minutes this week and name one area of your life you’ve been trying to control… a relationship, a decision, a fear, or an outcome.
Pray: “God, I’m releasing this to You.”
If you’re not sure you believe yet, just be honest and say… If You’re real, I’m open. Help me let go.
2. Look for God in the Details
Pay attention to the “small things” this week… unexpected conversations, delays, interruptions, or moments that feel inconvenient. Instead of rushing past them, pause and ask: “What might God be doing here?”
Write down one moment where you noticed peace, clarity, or guidance you didn’t expect.
3. Take One Step Toward Hope
Hope often grows when we move, not when we wait. Take one small step toward hope this week… reach out to someone you’ve been avoiding, ask for help, begin a difficult conversation, or take a first step back toward God.
You don’t have to have everything figured out… just take the next step.
