Una Iglesia Que
Se Sacrifica II
El dar con sacrificio (Hechos 4:32-37)
Un corazón que da de manera sacrificada es un
corazón que refleja el carácter mismo de Dios.
Dios se dio a sí mismo en sacrificio a través de
Jesús. Él derramó su amor en la cruz y
haciendo esto, nos llamó a nosotros para llevar
también una vida de sacrificio. El dar con
sacrificio tiene sus raíces en tres verdades
básicas.
•
El dar con sacrificio fluye de nuestra
unidad.
•
El dar con sacrificio no tiene que ver
con cantidad, sino con autoridad.
•
El dar con sacrificio es una expresión
de la gracia de Dios.
En dar con sacrificio, aprendemos a imitar a
Jesús quien se sacrificó a sí mismo
completamente por nosotros. Según nos
despojamos de nosotros mismos, Dios nos llena
con su maravillosa luz y nos usa para brillar en
su nombre.
Busque una oportunidad esta semana para
hacer algún sacrificio discreto. Quizás dé un
poco de su tiempo, el dinero del almuerzo,
comparta su talento o realice algún acto de
bondad. Este muy consciente de cómo el
sacrificio que usted haga le da reconocimiento a
Cristo como Señor y este pendiente para que
Dios utilice su sacrificio para hacer que su luz
brille.

Good Morning!
The Lord is delighted to have
you! In fact, the Bible says God
takes great delight in you; He
is thrilled you have come into
His presence and chosen to
share this day with Him. He
loves you immeasurably, and
as we talked last week, there is
nothing you can do to make
Him love you less or more. We
must be careful not to think
God is one of us. God is love.
Please read 1John this week…
Remember, we only have ONE
ASSEMBLY next week. There
will be NO 8:15 assembly. The
same format holds true for
August 11, as well. This is a
we have to come to grip with
the realities of who and where
we are and respond with a
Kingdom First attitude and a
Gospel-fueled response. To
that end, please participate in
our many efforts to get into the
community and minister to
people. Be quick to share
Jesus with folks up and down
the block. Remember, our high
calling is to make God known
and bring Him glory, honor,
and praise. It's truly not about
me…See you tonight for fifth
Sunday singing at 6 PM,
indoors and air-conditioned.
Come sing your favorite songs.
Please call me if I can serve in
any way…Ya' know I love ya!

Bible, Medical Release forms, clothes to get messy in,
swimsuit & cover up, tennis shoes, flip flops, or other

great opportunity to fellowship
with some folks you don't see
regularly…The world around
us continues to change rapidly,
especially in First Ring
Suburbs like Duncanville and
its neighbors. The rapid socioeconomic/demographic shift is
unprecedented. We live in one
of the most diverse areas in
the country. I love it, don't you?
I so appreciate the
accommodations ya'll make to
be hospitable to our new
neighbors.
Many
congregations chose to leave
their roots, but I'm grateful we
have stayed planted and
committed. I believe God
