    2nd of 4 on Money. Based on 1 Timothy this series asks us to make 4 decisions about how we will treat money in our lives. This message forms the basis of our giving. A message on contentment by Ken Kersten was the source some points.

    A Losing Equation or a Winning Combination I have always enjoyed math - because it just make sense (not like grammar with all it’s exceptions) and it always adds up. People who choose to love money and use people will always end up corrupt and ruined - always. People who choose right living and ...read more

    I think that it may be a safe assumption to make that when you all came here this evening, you didn’t expect to hear a sermon about grumbling.
