Join us in this sermon series as we explore the impactful word for the year 2024 - "impact." Last week, we delved into the meaning of impact, and today, we take a closer look at the role of love in making a lasting impact. Drawing inspiration from Colossians 3:12-14 and 1 Peter 4:7-8, we examine the urgency emphasized by Peter about the nearness of the end and the importance of keeping our heads focused on love. True love, as outlined in 1 Corinthians 13, goes beyond worldly definitions and serves as the foundation for making a profound impact for Jesus. As we navigate a world marked by division and uncertainty, let's heed the call to love deeply, covering a multitude of sins and bridging all divides. The challenge is clear - go out into the world, wrapped in the perfect love of Jesus, and be disciples who reflect His transformative and sacrificial love.

In this sermon, Pastor Stevan explores what it means to practice thanksgiving not just as a holiday, but as a lifestyle. He reflects on the importance of choosing to live with gratitude in order to be people who give thanks on purpose.

Looking at Bible passages, he emphasizes that because of God's grace, we should be "totally committed to doing good deeds" in response. Pastor Stevan shares stories and examples of how we can express this thanks through our actions - by being grateful for all our relationships despite their difficulties, and by looking for opportunities to generously bless others.

He challenges listeners to take small steps this week and next to build a habit of gratitude, like writing a note of thanks to someone. The goal is that thanksgiving would become a flywheel in our lives, an overflow of what God has poured into us. The sermon closes with a celebration of the grace we receive through Christ's sacrifice.
