God loves a cheerful, hilarious giver. This is a short all-age appropriate talk using a story and the giving out of chocolates to help people think about the resources God wants them to use hilariously for him.

On one occasion Jesus said: “Give; and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you” (Luke 6:38). God is so good to me. God is so generous. St Paul once wrote that ...read more

Staying Connected

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Apr 29, 2009

Jesus says that it is not our "religious activity" that produces fruit, but our relationship with Him.

"It's Time To Flip The Script”

Contributed by Bryan Beverly on Feb 17, 2015
