     | 2,818 views

    From the beginning of creation man was placed under God’s authority and given responsibility. That responsibility was to be a caretaker of the resources God had provided. Learn where the seeds of stewardship are planted.

    Intro: Was stewardship made up by the early ministers of the church? Did they merely preach it to fill the coffers or offering plates?

We aren’t worshipping an event, but a Person. For us to grasp the significance of Easter, we really need to ...read more

We might naturally divide that question as to whether it refers to being here in terms of existing… or being here in this gathering. I’m referring to BOTH our purpose for being here in terms of existing… as well as being ...read more
