This week was week 4 of the Big Give!! God has really been doing some neat things in our time. Our students really engaged in worship this week. Both service were intense!! Fish Throw created a fun little crowd activity. Out of both services a girl threw the fish the furthest. (by the way, you have to dangle the fish by the tail from your mouth and swing your head to throw it.)
Here is what we challenged the students with this weekend,
THE BIG GIVE
Where to Give?
December 14th, 2008
“Some people are always greedy for more, but the godly love to give!” Proverbs 21:26 (NLT)
WHERE DO I GIVE?
1. Give where there is A NEED!
“Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out and touched him. ‘I am willing,’ he said. ‘Be healed!’” Mark 1:41 (NLT)“Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.” Mark 6:34 (NLT)
The Key: See where God is WORKING and JOIN HIM!2. Give where you are PASSIONATE!
“There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit is the source of them all. There are different kinds of service, but we serve the same Lord. God works in different ways, but it is the same God who does the work in all of us.” 1 Corinthians 12:4-6 (NLT)
Spiritual Gifts
Heart
Abilities
Personality
Experiences
The Key: Know YOURSELF, and GET INVOLVED!3. Give where you can make AN IMPACT!
“He said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.’” Matthew 9:37-38 (NLT)
The Key: Just Do SOMETHING!
