Impacting One Life (1 of 6)
Series: Impact
Jim Perdue
Psalm 27:1-14
Intro/Attention
At the beginning of each year we establish a theme. Usually it's one word to describe our focus for the year. If you will remember, we focused in previous years on how we connect, grow, and serve. This year, our word and our focus is impact. We want to be a church that impacts you, your family, our community, the nation, and the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Every summer, we spend 40 days focusing on our theme for the year. We focus our Life Group lessons, our sermons, our children's and student curriculum, and devotion books on this theme.

It's a sad song about lost love and the brokenness of relationship, reducing two to one - reducing together to alone. But one can also be a positive. One person inviting another and another, and one telling someone else. Because of the power of one person asking another. The power of one! There was an ad on TV some time ago. I think it was advertising shampoo or something. Anyway, the gist of the ad was that one told another, who told another, and so on. Do you know that if each of us invited one person to come with us to church, we would double our numbers? The power of one!
The Bible repeatedly shows us the power of one. Noah was one man who stood for righteous ...
