Your biggest Christmas gift (Top of Mind Monday)
What's the most valuable gift you'll give this Christmas? I'd challenge you to match its value in what you give to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering.
In its long and storied history, pastors and church leaders have long challenged and inspired people to give to the offering that goes directly to the 3,500+ deployed missionaries through the International Mission Board.
One of my favorite ways I've seen that challenge issued is to ask that you match your largest Christmas gift in giving to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. Isn't sending the good news of Jesus to those who have never heard it the greatest gift you can give?!?!?
Prepare your gifts now. Everything given December 22 at Christ Community will go directly to the offering. Our goal is $25,000!
"How do I stay desperate for Jesus?" - Madeline Smith
Listen in to Madeline's story from yesterday and you wouldn't have guessed that this would be the question she's asking. And yet, because of the grace of God and her pursuit of his glory, it's the question I'm asking myself today.
Her story is a must listen, and there's probably someone in your life that needs to hear it this week, too.
Y'all. I'm so incredibly thankful for the culture and value of story at Christ Community. More than that, I'm thankful for a church full of people who are gifted and willing to share their stories.
I believe EDGE Q&A Nights are changing the next generation right before our eyes.
Where do you find adults from various generations answering some really tough questions about faith in Jesus for a bunch of teens? Christ Community!
Teens are hungry not just for information, but also for someone to put their faith and hope in. We know a guy here at CHRIST Community. Let's keep talking about him and giving the next generation confidence to shine bright for him!
