    God’s economy runs on joy, not guilt. Paul reminds us that giving isn’t a tax, it’s a treasure—a chance to reflect the heart of a generous God. The Lord isn’t tallying how much you give; He’s looking at the attitude behind it.

    Christians often sing "Joy To The World" as a Christmas carol... but that's not what Isaac Watts wanted to sing about when he first wrote the song. Why did Watts write this song, and what can that mean for us?

He wrote a several songs that are still being sung today and we’re going to sing a few of them… a ...read more

In the story of Jesus healing ten lepers, only one returned to express gratitude. This act caught Jesus' attention, highlighting the importance of ...read more
