Something so small can change everything…
We have been taught a lie.
In order to make a huge difference you must do huge things.
It takes something large to change everything.
It takes millions of $’s to leave a mark.
This is a lie…
Every summer we ask our friends, family, churches and the Impact community to participate in a financial campaign. This summer our goal is $15,000.
Honestly $15,000 isn’t a huge amount…but…
We believe that this $15,000 can make a huge difference on the campus of UNCC and the incoming freshman class.
Here’s the other part of the lie that we’ve been sold…
If I can’t give a huge amount of money to a cause then I can’t really make a difference.
That is a lie that separates us from the way of Jesus.
Do you remember this story found in Mark 12?
Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting
their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. 42But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny.
43Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. 44They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”
She put more in then everyone combined…
What she gave…changed everything…
The story of this woman was recorded and passed on from generation to generation.
That small amount made a huge difference.
We travel to VBS’s every summer and we ask little kids to give their pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. In 7 years we have raised thousands of dollars in change. Some would say that all this change is worthless…what difference can it really make…but…
Kids with pennies are a powerful force!
So many lives have been changed because of a few kids that were willing to sacrifice a few pennies.
I have a question for you…
Will you sacrifice a little so that a huge amount can take place?
Will you give something small that will change everything?
Maybe it’s a gift of $20, $50 or $100.
Maybe it’s a monthly gift of $20.
What is God setting on your heart?
Whatever that number is…give from that place and everything will change.
