September 29th, 2024 Harvest Offering

As we prepare our hearts to bring our special offering on Sunday, September 29, I want to encourage you with a thought.

"How much is a life worth in light of eternity?"

Every day we spend significant amounts of money on temporary things like vacations, clothes, personal entertainment, meals out, home/car repairs, and meeting every day needs. God provides finances for us to enjoy such things. But how often do we consider the finances that God provides in light of His harvest? Is the winning of a lost soul as important as a family vacation to us? Would we spend as much as we do on a critical home repair to empower a missionary to continue their critical work in the harvest? Would we be willing to sacrifice temporary things to sow a significant financial gift into the harvest of the Lord?

Our $24K Harvest Offering has been planned to allow each of us to consider what God would have us do to contribute to reaping His harvest. Our weekly/monthly tithes and offerings support the work of the Lord here at Grace. But this one special yearly offering, on this one special Sunday, will support the 6 ministries the Lord has directed us to partner with this year. Every dollar we receive in this special offering will be directed to these ministries' efforts to win the lost from a Christless eternity.

So I ask you, "How much is a life worth in light of eternity?".

I'd like to encourage you to spend time in prayer considering this question and then thoughtfully ask the Lord how significant your gift should be in support of this effort.

Thank you for doing your part, no more, no less! The finances you sow will impact lives eternally!

Together in the Harvest,

Pastor Tommy
