Welcome to Eastern Hills Baptist Church
We are so glad that you decided to join us in worship today. Here at Eastern Hills we realize that we are all in different places on our journey with Christ, and that's okay. Whether you are a seeker, looking for answers, or a long-time follower of Christ, you are welcome here.

EHBC'S DESIRED OUTCOMES 1, 2 & 3:

How am I drawing near to the unexpected love of Jesus today?

How am I learning to see myself, others, and circumstances as God does?

How am I growing Christian friends who are growing me?

EHBC'S DESIRED OUTCOME #4:

How are my hands open for God's use today?

OUTCOME #4 EXPRESSION STATEMENTS:

My answer is “Yes” even before I know what God may ask me to do.

I build enough margin into my day to respond to the people and opportunities God brings to me.

I can name specific ways I am using my skills and spiritual gifts to serve people inside and outside the church.

I cheerfully give a sacrificial amount of my income to the church to glorify God and invest in His kingdom work.

I believe the purpose of the church is not to provide activities I like, but to spur me to love and reach others.

TODAY'S OUTLINE ON OPEN HANDS:

1: Give your heart first.

2: Give what you have and do

3: Give for God's purpose and glory

TAKE IT HOME QUESTIONS FOR THIS WEEK:

— When is a time that you've given something away? Are you glad you did, or did you regret it?
— Have you given your heart to God through faith in Jesus Christ? Meaning, are you saved?
— What do you have or do that you can give to God's purpose and glory in and through the church?
