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:

“I didn’t think anyone seen it. It was just little ol’ me going about the day.”
Am I letting the Spirit of God grow a kindness in me that looks like Jesus?
1. Culture says: Be nice if it benefits you.
Jesus says: Be kind even when it costs you.
Jesus says: Be kind even when it costs you.
Here's the truth... Real kindness will always cost you something.
Spirit-grown kindness isn’t convenient
When was the last time kindness actually cost me something?
2. Culture says: Stay safe, don’t get messy.
Jesus says: Step into people’s pain and call them family.
Jesus says: Step into people’s pain and call them family.
3. Culture says: Make it about what you can do.
Jesus says: Make it about what God can do.
Jesus says: Make it about what God can do.
Because kindness in your strength will always run out. But kindness rooted in Jesus points beyond you to the only One who can bring dead things back to life.
What’s dead around you right now? Where have you thrown up your hands and said, “It’s too far gone”?
Where are you still trying to do this in your own strength?
Will I settle for counterfeit kindness, or will I surrender to the Spirit and let him grow the real thing in me?
Action Steps for this Week:
Here’s the deal… if this just stays a sermon, nothing changes. But if we actually live this out, it’ll shake the ground in our homes, our workplaces, our schools, our city. So, let’s get practical. Here are three ways to put Spirit-driven kindness into motion this week:
Action Steps:
1. Let kindness interrupt you.
This week, don’t blow past the interruption… see it as an opportunity
from God.
2. Step into someone’s mess.
Move toward the person everyone else avoids and show them they
still matter.
3. Surrender control to the Holy Spirit.
When kindness feels impossible, lay down the need to fix it yourself and
let Jesus work through you in a way only He can. And let’s be real… this
is the hardest part, because it means giving up control. But that’s where
His power shows up.
Like Paul said in 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NLT)
My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.
