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

Have you ever found yourself wondering… “Am I actually making a difference?”
“God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for Him…”
• That’s humility… that’s I need God

“God blesses those who are humble…”
• That’s I’m not in control

“God blesses those who are merciful…”
• That’s I don’t hold onto offense

“God blesses those whose hearts are pure…”
• That’s I’m not living divided

“God blesses those who work for peace…”
• That’s I don’t add to the chaos
“Am I actually making a difference?”
You are.
Are you just around Jesus? or are you actually being changed by Him?
Where in your life have you been blending in instead of standing out?
You don’t have to change the whole world… But you are called to change someone’s world.
Sometimes being SALT looks like…
• Showing up consistently
• Loving someone when it’s hard
• Choosing not to fire back when you disagree
• Being steady when everything around you isn’t
Sometimes being LIGHT looks like…
• Being open about your faith
• Inviting someone to sit with you
• Letting people see how God is working in your life
Action Steps for this Week:

You are not here by accident. You are here to make a difference… right where you are.

Action Steps:
1. Identify One Person
Who is one person in your life that needs hope right now?
• Pray for them by name every day this week
• Ask God to give you an opportunity to show or share your faith

You don’t have to change the whole world… start with one person.

2. Live It, Don’t Just Say It
Choose one way to live differently this week where people can actually see it.
• Respond with patience instead of frustration
• Show kindness when it’s not deserved
• Choose peace instead of proving a point

Your life should make it easier for people to see Jesus.

3. Take a Step of Courage
Invite that one person to join you next weekend.
• Send a text
• Have a conversation
• Offer to sit with them

Don’t overthink it… just take the step.
