Can one person make a DIFFERENCE?

70% of church-going high school students leave the church when they graduate, and only a small percentage will ever return. People leave the church because they don’t see what difference it really makes.

1.What difference did Jesus make? Christ has impacted billions of people in every corner of the world. Ephesians Jesus transformed nearly everything and everyone around Him. Luke ; 9.11 II Chronicles 7.14

2.What difference can Jesus make today? When we turn the focus from ourselves and to Jesus, things get exciting. For centuries, kings and kingdoms have tried to stop the growth of the church, but she continues to grow and thrive. Matthew 16.18

Jesus is more than the most influential figure, He is the Son of God 3.What difference could Jesus make in your life? 2 Corinthians 5.17

Jesus desires to receive us just the way we are, and love us like no one else can. No matter what’s happened in your life, Jesus will make a difference. The same power that raised Christ from the dead can be alive in you.

Can one person make a DIFFERENCE?
