    We come to know God through giving.

    This morning, our topic is "Seeking God Through Giving". As you know if you’ve been attending this church for very long, we don’t emphasize giving. We don’t take an offering, we don’t pass the plate. We just have a basket in the back for contributions. I don’t look at the giving records, so I don’t ...read more

    At Calvary, debts were paid and riches were bestowed! So, are you rich?

    Are you rich? Before you start to think of your wallet or pocketbook, I want you to think about what it means to be rich in God’s eyes. Riches in the eyes of God are not nice cars, big houses, and a big salary. When God thinks about riches, he thinks about: eternal life, happiness, peace, and a joy ...read more

     | 12,716 views

    This sermon explains 2 Cor 8:9 in easy to understand terms and shows how we can follow Jesus’ example of selflessness.

    INTRO : I can’t hear what you are saying because your actions speak louder than your words. Do as I say not as I do. We lead by example. Christ is the greatest example of selflessness.

    Many people get the first thing first...accepting Christ. Many miss putting the second thing second, giving themselves to the local church.
