Jesus And Giving Series

Contributed by K. Edward Skidmore on Nov 11, 2020

Today we will turn to examine what Jesus had to say about giving. And we will ask what giving looked like to Jesus. The passage in Luke 14:15-33 is considered one of the "Hard Sayings of Jesus". And indeed, it takes a bit of explanation to make sense of it.

What's Your Excuse?

Contributed by Esther Collins on Mar 20, 2023

When God calls us for a task, do we accept it joyfully or do we give excuses? Here are some common excuses that we should avoid so God can fulfill His great purposes through us.

The Lord wants to use each one of us, and only if we are available and seriously desire to do so can He use us.
