God doesn't use us because He needs us to do something for Him; He doesn't use us because He needs our resources.

The text is from John 6:1-15

GIVE IT AWAY #1 - The Cross
Sunday Nov 06, 2011
Sunday Nov 06, 2011
As we enter into the holiday season, I've been thinking a lot about generosity and the essence of the "Christ-following life." At the core of our faith is a challenge that Christ issued to all who wanted to be His disciples. In a nutshell, He said: "If anyone wants to be my disciple, first, lay aside your selfish ambition; second, take up your cross daily; finally, follow Me." For the next several weeks, we'll be in a series, GIVE IT AWAY, that explores this in greater detail, & helps us see what it looks like to give our lives away.
