We want EVERYONE to hear clearly. The BEST location

in the sanctuary for hearing is close to the center aisle, 8 to

hearing, you might want to try sitting near this area.

Wireless hearing aid devices are available at the sound

booth in the rear of the sanctuary.

GRAND JUNCTION

“Charmed into Righteousness: The Purest Life”

Reinhold Niebuhr: “On the whole, people do not achieve moral

heights out of a sense of duty. You may be able to compel them to

maintain certain minimum standards by stressing duty, but the

highest moral and spiritual achievements depend not upon a push but

upon a pull. People must be charmed into righteous.” (Leaves from

the Notebook of a Tamed Cynic 75)

Ellen White: “You cannot but be charmed with the matchless

attractions of the Son of God.”(Christian Education 76)

“As one with us, He must bear the burden of our guilt

and woe. The Sinless One must feel the shame of sin.

The peace lover must dwell with strife, the

truth must abide with falsehood, purity with

vileness. Every sin, every discord, every defiling lust

that transgression had brought, was

______________ to His spirit.” (111)

“His spirit of stainless purity _________________

from the spectacle.” (461)

“Christ suffered keenly under abuse and insult. . . .

you.” (64)

#6—“The less we see to esteem in ourselves, the more

we shall see to esteem in the infinite purity and

loveliness of our Savior.” (65)

#7—“. . . Christ in His purity and holiness, Christ in

His matchless love—this is the _______________ for

the soul’s contemplation. It is by loving Him,

THE TIME TO BUILD CAMPAIGN

WHAT IS IT?

A focus on growing, sowing and going in FAITH.

It is impossible to please God without faith. Hebrews 11:6

4 PURPOSES OF TIME TO BUILD

1. TO ADVANCE SPIRITUAL MATURITY BY

STRETCHING OUR FAITH

When your faith is tested, your endurance has a

chance to grow. James 1:3-4

2. TO ENHANCE RELATIONAL UNITY BY

COOPERATING TOGETHER All the believers were united in heart and mind …

Acts 4:32-35

3. TO HELP FINANCE RELOCATION of CHURCH,

SCHOOL, CHILDCARE

I want you to excel also in this gracious act of giving.

2 Corinthians 8:7

EQUAL SACRIFICE, NOT EQUAL GIFTS

Obviously, God has not given everyone the ability to give the

same amount in dollars. However, God does call us to make

the same quality of commitment.

4. TO HONOR THE EVERYDAY HEROES OF FAITH

SERVING IN OUR CHURCH FAMILY

give him the honor that people like him deserve.

Philippians 2:25, 29

WHAT WE WON’T DO

1. WON’T PRESSURE you to give.

2. WON’T SELL anything!

3. WON’T PROMOTE PRODUCTS mixed with giving.

WHAT WE WILL DO

1. Show how everyone can give something’.

2. Ask people to sacrifice

3. Follow the biblical pattern for an offering in 1

Chronicles 29.
