    Just being "hearers" of God's Word won't save us; we must put God's Word into practice. It's not our talk, but our walk that God's will judge. The Word is a mirror that shows us how God sees us.

    Generosity is an important aspect of Christianity. This sermon explores not only why we should be generous but also how we can be generous Christians.
