This weekend our church is having what we are calling a Great Weekend of Giving. We are setting aside one weekend to receive and offering to help cover some of the move in costs for our new worship facility which will open in the spring of 2009. As I have been praying about this weekend I have come to the conclusion that it really is the Great Weekend of Opportunity. I say that for the following reasons:
1) This offering is an opportunity to bring glory to God! All that I have belongs to God and when I give it back to Him- He loves it!
2) This offering is an opportunity to become more! That's right. Giving changes us and when I give I become more like Christ than I am now. How could I pass up that kind of opportunity?
3) This offering is an opportunity to bless others! I came to Christ and got involved in a church because someone made it possible. They gave and I was blessed. This weekend I get the chance to bless someone else. It might not be till eternity before I know how my gift has touched and blessed someone else.
The Great Weekend of Opportunity! Jesus said it like this- "It more blessed to give than receive". This weekend is all about an opportunity. An opportunity to be a part of something that will last forever. I don't dare miss it!
