Week 1 The Single Greatest Gift

• The single greatest gift you can give is to
  introduce someone to Jesus
• introduce them to the God who
• created them, who loves them, and
• who has a purpose for their life.

THIS is what evangelism isconstantly watching
for ways to give that gift to someone living far
from God.

You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt
loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty
again? It is no longer good for anything, except
to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are
the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot
be hidden.
Matthew 513-14, TNIV

Have the same attitude of mind Christ Jesus had
Who, being in very nature God, did not consider
equality with God something to be used his own
advantage rather, he made himself nothing by
taking the very nature of a servant, being made
in human likeness. And being found in appearance
as a human being, he humbled himself by becoming
obedient to deatheven death on a
cross! Philippians 25b-8, TNIV

cross for us. The bread represents the body of
Christ the juice represents the blood of
Christ.

welcome to participate. Please place your
empty cup in the pew rack holder. If you prefer

Each man should give what he has decided in his
heart to give, not reluctantly or under
compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
2 Corinthians 97 see that you also
excel in this grace of giving. 2
