    Effective Giving

    So much is said about tithing and yet it is probably the most difficult subject for me to speak on. I think it would be actually easier if the church was wealthy. Why is this such a sensitive subject? Or maybe its me, but why is it so hard to preach on? What about to you? Think about it for a ...read more

    The example of the Macedonian church can inform and inspire us to give in the way God would have use give.

    We’re focusing on our need to recognize God as owner and how we’re to manage what He’s entrusted to us.

It might be so we don’t cross it. It might be so we can cross it. But we want to know where the line is. - ...read more
