If someone asked you what is the story of the Bible? What is the very centerpiece, the thesis, the theme statement? What is the heart of the greatest story ever told? Arguably, if it had to be narrowed to one verse, it would be John 3:16. 

"For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him would not perish, but have everlasting life." 

When God gave the 2025 vision to be the Gospel on the Ground, He included March 16th to be a special day. Can you think of 3 or 16 people to invite for 3:16 on 3-16? It is a great opportunity for us to work at being the gospel on the ground as we look to fill up God's house.
