Pastor Abbie shares a really important message about how valuable we all are as individuals. She encourages us to contribute to the world around us by adding value in whatever way we can. To explain this point, she references some powerful passages from the Bible, such as Acts 2:14-24, Mark 8:27-38, and Gen 1:26-27. These passages remind us that we were created in the image of God and that we are a part of His plan for the world. As a result, we all have the keys to the Kingdom within us, and we should celebrate this invitation to make a positive impact in the world.

She goes on to explain that there are three main ways to contribute: through time, talent, and treasure. She also shares some great suggestions for places to contribute, such as everyday communities, Christ-centered communities, local and global churches, and cities. To put this into practice, she encourages us to examine where we have been adding value already and to keep paying it forward.
