Values Of A Christian

Contributed by Grant Adams on Sep 24, 2023

Out Of The Overflow

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Mar 19, 2023

Too often, preachers are guilty of preaching that the overflow is always financial. Here we take a look at how there can be other overflow as well

We don’t know a lot about them as a church. We don’t know how they worshipped; we don’t know what songs they sang, which translation of the bible they preferred, and we don’t know what the preacher was like. What we do know is how they gave. This is week one of our Stewardship Emphasis Month at ...read more

Motives For Giving Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 13, 2023

It is important for us not just to give to the Lord, but to give with the right motives. Jesus rebukes those who gave with the wrong motives, so we need to carefully consider our motives and how our motives align with God’s purposes and glorify God.

What motivates people to give? You could read about results of research on this topic about what part of giving is motivated by self interest and what part is motivated by serving others. Our interest here is not the human psychology side of giving motivation, but the biblical motivation. What do ...read more
