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.

Even the smallest deviation will cause us to miss the mark. We are to sanctify Christ as Lord in our hearts because God is holy. We must be holy as well. Do we know the bible well enough so that we can give an answer to all who ask about the hope that we have? Ours is a glorious hope.

Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 28, 2023

Forgiveness

Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Oct 26, 2005
