Those words sound familiar to anybody? They are the words of defeat and pessimism and yet they are words that all of us ...read more

    When I was a little boy, my grandmother had a large conch shell. I don’t know where that old shell came from.

    Let’s talk about transformation. Merrian-Webster defines transformation as “a complete or major change in someone's or something's appearance, form, etc.” Transformation is at the heart of our Christian faith, isn’t it? Don’t we believe that Jesus Christ came into ...read more

    This sermon reflects on the transformation of Zacchaeus from taker to giver, from greedy to generosity and seeks to discover how we might apply that same transformation to our lives.

    Okay. We can’t read Zacchaeus without doing some short jokes, right? Why do short people get mad so easily? Because they have short tempers! Unfortunately, I crashed into the back of a car at the lights today. A really short guy got out of the car and said, “I’m not ...read more

    Perhaps the greatest transformation story in the Bible, perhaps the greatest transformation story in all Christian history is the transformation of a man named Saul into the Apostle named Paul.

     | 8,407 views

    Generosity is at the core of a disciple's life. Jesus calls us to generous living, and generosity begins with our money.

    Do we believe it’s possible to live a generous life? Do we believe it’s important to live a generous life? Do we believe it’s necessary to live a generous life? We’ve spent the last four weeks reflecting on how to live generously in every respect of discipleship as United Methodists—our prayers, ...read more

When the pharmacist asked him about the three boxes, he said, “Well, I am going over to my new girlfriend's house tonight for supper. Then, we are going out for the evening.

  • Generous With Our Story Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,352 views

    A disciple can be generous with our resources, our time and our presence, but the most transformative element of a disciple's life is his/her story. We should be as generous with our story as we are with our money and time.

    Generosity: Possible Generous with Our Story 2 Timothy 1: 1 – 14 It is only natural for us to connect the idea of generosity with money. We automatically think of financial resources when we consider the idea of being generous, but the life of generosity for a disciple of Jesus Christ extends ...read more
