Out Of The Overflow

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Mar 19, 2023

Too often, preachers are guilty of preaching that the overflow is always financial. Here we take a look at how there can be other overflow as well

We don’t know a lot about them as a church. We don’t know how they worshipped; we don’t know what songs they sang, which translation of the bible they preferred, and we don’t know what the preacher was like. What we do know is how they gave.

When Grief Meets Hope

They never worshiped a god called the “god of hope.” Hope was a disappointing mirage in that ancient world, long before our Lord was born in ...read more
