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 been heading in the wrong direction… and didn’t even realize it?
1. Drift is subtle
Where in your life might you be just a few degrees off… that, if left alone… could take you somewhere you never intended to go?
Where might things still look right… but something underneath is starting to drift?
2. Jesus sees deeper than we do
You can look spiritually strong on the outside…
and still be slowly drifting underneath.
3. You can be right about Jesus… and still drift from Him
Doing things FOR Jesus… can slowly replace being WITH Jesus.
4. Drift shows up in subtle ways
You’ve learned to manage sin instead of fight it
You stay busy… but rarely slow down with God
Worship becomes routine instead of real
You don’t talk about Jesus outside of church settings
You’ve lost urgency for people far from God
5. The way back is simple… but intentional
Move #1 - Remember
Move #2 - Repent
Move #3 - Return
You don’t drift back to God… You decide to come back.
Action Steps:
Don’t just hear this message, take a step this week to realign your life with Jesus, one intentional decision at a time.

1. Pause and identify your “two degrees.”
Take 5-10 minutes this week and ask God honestly… “Where am I drifting?”

Write down one area… don’t overcomplicate it, just be honest.

2. Reconnect with Jesus daily (even if it’s small)
Spend a few intentional minutes each day this week
• Read a short passage of Scripture
• Talk to God honestly
• Eliminate distractions and just be with Him

Consistency matters more than length.

3. Take one step toward Jesus, and tell someone
If you’ve been drifting, take a step back (repent and return)

If you’ve never followed Jesus, take your first step toward Him
• Tell someone (a friend, group leader for accountability)
