Today’s offering: World Budget / Annual Sacrifice (Global Mission Emphasis)
James and John approached Jesus with a question, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask?” In response Jesus asked them, “Well, what do you want?” They replied, “To sit on Your right and left side in Your Kingdom.” Those were the greatest positions of honor, glory and privilege.
Jesus quickly reminded them about the Kingdom principle of selflessness. To make matters worse, when the disciples caught wind of James and John’s request, they began to argue as to who among them was the greatest. Jesus said to them, “if anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last and servant of all.” That’s how Jesus lived. Actually, that’s how Jesus died; taking our place as a ransom sacrifice.
Today, we have an opportunity to participate in the Annual Sacrifice. Our offering will support the Global Mission Emphasis. Here’s our chance to follow Jesus’ example and sacrifice for those in need.
Let’s pray, “Lord, we thank You for what You have done and continue to do for us. Today, we want to give back to those in need. Please bless the gifts we’ve brought as our worship to You. Thank you that we can be part of this great work. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.”
