How to Change the WorldExemplo

THREE REMINDERS ABOUT SERVING GOD’S PEOPLE

Generosity Is His Design

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son...” (John 3:16a). At the core of the Gospel message, God reveals His love through the most radical act of generosity in history. When we sacrificially meet the needs of those around us, we’re communicating the heart of our Creator. Tangible acts of generosity can open the door for meaningful Gospel conversations!

It’s A Group Project

As the early church grew, they worked together to meet the needs of those in the community. When we take stock of the time, talent, and treasure we have as individuals, it can sometimes feel like our impact will be minimal. However, when we combine our efforts and seek to serve the world as a unified church, the potential for impact is incredible!

You Have Something To Give

Impactful groups are comprised of impactful people. Everyone has something to give toward the advancement of God’s Kingdom, but the enemy will try to convince you that you have nothing to contribute. Break free from the poison of comparison and confidently serve others with the gifts and talents God has given you.

Big Idea

When we sacrificially serve those around us, we are demonstrating the Gospel message. As we serve, it’s important to remember that generosity is God’s design, giving is a group project and everyone has something they can bring to the table!
