Recap
What miraculous thing are you asking God to do for you?
Main Thought
Everyone has a God-given desire to make an impact! One way that we can make an impact is through giving. Giving comes from God’s character. God gave humanity life and a world to live in. Jesus gave His life so that we could be reconciled to God and receive the perfect love He offered us. God gave because He loves us; if we love God and other people, then it’s natural that we would give too. We can give our time and strength to serve. We can give our finances to advance causes that honor God. Doing these things will allow us to make an impact that can be felt throughout eternity.
Main Passages
31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
- Genesis 1:3116 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
- John 3:163 For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, 4 they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the Lord’s people. 5 And they exceeded our expectations: They gave themselves first of all to the Lord, and then by the will of God also to us. 6 So we urged Titus, just as he had earlier made a beginning, to bring also to completion this act of grace on your part. 7 But since you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you—see that you also excel in this grace of giving.
- 2 Corinthians 8:3-7
