You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:37-40
Are You Ready to Make a Difference?
Love makes the difference. God’s plan for us is to share his love
with everyone, everywhere. In every field He gives us, we sow seeds of the gospel so that everyone everywhere can know God and His life-changing love. He even gives us His power and His presence to ensure that we can share His extraordinary love without limitations.
During this time of personal renewal that we call SEEDS, we recall how the seed of the gospel was planted in our lives by people who sacrificed for us and how it changed everything. We recount the seeds of the gospel we have been planting in others’ lives and how it’s changing them. We recommit to planting seeds of the gospel in the coming season of our lives so that more people can experience God, breakthrough, and calling.
Our church has the opportunity to increase our impact. God has opened doors locally and globally and it’s causing all of us to think about what our lives are really about. To evaluate our level of generosity and openhandedness with God’s resources entrusted to us. Each of us should review the powerful spiritual principles of generosity and consider how a Christ-follower can live a countercultural life in this world.
Regular giving brings in 80% of what’s needed to do what God has given us to do, our mission. The year-end special offering makes up the difference. If we could get to the point that weekly giving supported the whole vision, we’d give all of our year-end special offering away to the needs in our community. That’s our goal.

Would I rob God?
What does it look like to help?
What does it mean to be in a small group? What does it mean to be in community with other Christians?
Together we’ll sow seeds of the Gospel in every field the Lord has given us so that everyone, everywhere, can know God.
Consider these questions:
- What if we committed again to live this amazing and abundant life as we join the chain of generous people of faith that have gone before us?
- Could we be generous all the time, not just when there is a special project?
- Could we pray about giving above and beyond because God has gone above and beyond for us in sending Jesus Christ for us?
- What if we depended on God in a new way, stretching our faith and our generosity?
S.E.E.D.S: is a time to Stop and Evaluate Evangelism, Discipleship and Stewardship . Pray about giving to the Lord, for the Mission, through the Church as an act of worship – recommitting to Jesus Christ, His Kingdom, and His work.
Together we’ll sow seeds of the Gospel in every field the Lord has given us so that everyone, everywhere can know God. His Love will make the difference.
YES, I’LL PRAY, PLEDGE, AND SOW MY SEEDS
Pray: Pray about what God wants you to give. We’re praying that each family at Ginger Creek participates in some way.
Pledge: We’re asking everyone who believes in this vision to participate in Seeds this year. It’s not about equal giving but equal sacrifice.
