Giving Generously Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 14, 2023

You cannot out give God. You will never be able to match his matchless giving. But we can respond to his perfect gift of salvation in Jesus Christ by generous giving.

How do we transform our lives in the area of prayer and spiritual awakening? Well, the answer is found from a thorough study of revival in the Bible.

Giving Obediently Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 20, 2023

Our obedience in giving equates to our love for God. We are to acknowledge God’s ownership of everything. This requires faith because we believe that God will provide our needs. We give a tithe to God and he will supply with the remaining ninety percent.

This is a very serious look at giving since the opposite of obedience to God is disobedience. There is no neutral ground between obedience to God and disobedience to God. “I the Lord do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. 7 Ever since the time of your ancestors you ...read more

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Sep 23, 2023

These two are pleasing sacrifices to God. The fruit of the lips, the fruit of the hands. Both are outward expressions of the inner heart. The words of the lips and the deeds of the hands have come from the bottom. Your inner heart is expressed through your outer face.

Give And Take

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 26, 2023

Givers trust in God, rather than in themselves; they are focused outward. Takers have not learned to trust in God and focus on their own needs.

Anybody remember the televangelist scandals of the 80’s? Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, Oral Roberts and his highly publicized plea for - what was it, $8 million? - to keep God from striking him dead.

Never Give In

Contributed by Mike Bryant on Jan 11, 2024

Churchill famously urged, "Never give in," a vital attitude for Christians. In Phil 3:12-16, Paul gives us the key to never giving up in our pursuit of the resurrection. That key is that we properly deal with the past, the future, and the present in our lives.

I. Introduction A. It took Winston Churchill 3 years to get through 8th grade because he had trouble learning Latin and consistently finished at the very bottom of his class. Ironically, years later, in the midst of WW2, he was asked to speak at the Oxford University commencement exercises. The ...read more

Giving To Others Series

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Jan 21, 2024

What would it take to convince you to make time to serve the Lord? What would it take to get you to reprioritize your goals and dreams to no longer be inwardly focused but other focused?

Giving And The Prophets Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Nov 15, 2023
