We all need encouragement and joy and that is where something as simple as a message on the wall or our desk or an encouragement sent through social media can inspire us and give us hope.

Inspirational sayings also make fantastic Christmas gifts. And because the ones I'm sharing below (and many more)  are FREE (which I greatly encourage you to take them as) or PWYW, (pay what you want) you can download and print them up in bulk for meaningful gifts for a church class, small group, or volunteers. I've done that many times with the church groups and individuals in my life.

I created the Bible805 Images shop so that you can do the same. In it I'm giving you Bible-inspired images (verses and sayings) I created that you can download and share directly on social media or print out, put into inexpensive frames, and share at every imaginable size and resolution, from 5×7 to standard 8.5×1/A4 sizes, to large posters, 24×36 or 30×30.

Below is a sample of some of them (there are MANY more), and below that some of the Christmas images.

Please do tell people about Bible805Images.com. It truly is free and will stay that way--this isn't a marketing trick to make you buy some expensive ongoing subscription or service.

These short verses and sayings might be just enough to encourage someone who needs it or to cause someone to about Jesus in a way they haven't before.

MOTHER DAY Cover--make the most of it for evangelism and discipleship
Mother's Day is THE BEST Sunday of the year for evangelism and discipleship--read this FREE eBook to understand why and for tips on how to do make the most of it.

Mother's Day gets some of the highest attendance of unchurched visitors of any Sunday and it isn't because of Mothers.

The Mothers are always there. The high attendance comes from the unchurched kids and spouses who come to church that week to make Mom happy. To help you make the most of it I pulled together some of my most popular resources and put them into an ebook that will help you make the most of it.

What’s here in the FREE OUTREACH materials for Mother's Day

  • Reprints of materials from the Effective Church Communications website (www.effectivechurchcom.com) that will:
    • Give you a new vision for the outreach and evangelism opportunities of this day and how to make the most of them.
    • Reminders of how to be kind to those who aren’t Mothers.
    • Ideas for how to use Mother’s day as a discipleship opportunity for your entire church.
  • Also enclosed in this eBook are copies of One Mother’s Prayer, a true story that has been reprinted and used thousands of times all over the world to encourage both physical and spiritual mothers to pray for the children they love. You have permission to make unlimited copies of One Mother’s Prayer (I, Yvon Prehn, wrote it and I’m giving permission to you) to use it or reprint in any way you want. It can used it in prayer groups, as a handout for
    Mother’s Day, for Mom’s groups, for Grandparents, shared in print, social media, or
    websites, however you’d like. No linking or attribution required.
  • Tips for communications you can create before, during, and after Mother’s Day, plus links to FREE templates to enable you to do that.

Mother's Day has the third-highest church attendance of the year, right after Easter and Christmas and the reason for that isn't because of the Mothers that are there—

It's because of the unchurched spouses and children who showed up on that day to make Mom happy!

Because of that, Mother's Day is THE most important evangelism and outreach opportunity you have all year. But sadly, few churches take advantage of this reality.

This video will not only give you ideas on how to make the most of Mother's Day, but previews the FREE resources you can go to implement it at: https://www.effectivechurchcom.com/templates/mothers-day-templates/.
