    Opening illustration: For thousands of families in Kenya, seven cows are more valuable than a girl’s future. Those cows, a typical bridal dowry in Maasai culture, prove so tempting that most fathers in rural areas decide their daughter’s education will end and marriage begin by age 13. ...read more

The family had no savings and about $75,000 in debt. They had been tithing, but said if they stopped ...read more

    Caring enough to share our love and faith meets other people’s needs, physical and spiritual; but it also meets ours as well. Whenever we look out beyond ourselves and reach out to care and share, God delivers us from our own problems.

    This morning’s message is entitled “caring and sharing.” Often when we teach on the purpose and life of the church we speak about koinonia, which is a New Testament Greek word meaning “fellowship.” However, one pastor tells us “that koinonia means caring for the poor” and that “Christian ...read more
