Give It Away Series

Contributed by Rick Stacy on Dec 19, 2012

Malachi Wholly Committed Series

Contributed by Rick Stacy on Dec 20, 2012

Malachi’s record of God’s oracles was from the heart of God, brutally honest, and full of hope.

The Oracle of God An oracle is a prophetic pronouncement. Malachi is a record of the oracle of God to the people of Judah.

Discontented Series

Contributed by Rick Stacy on Dec 2, 2014

Most people will agree in principle that the one who gives is more blessed than the one who receives. But they still struggle with giving – often because they can’t give. They have too many bills and are struggling to get by.

Submissive Series

Contributed by Rick Stacy on Dec 2, 2014

Two weeks ago I taught that the core principle of satisfaction was rooted in giving. Not spending, not getting, not working, not saving, not investing, not begging, and not gambling. The only way to achieve a satisfied life is by giving.

Why? There are a lot of things in the world that just don’t make sense. They are mysteries to me. Here are a few of the things I wonder about: As we get older in school why do the desks get smaller? This is the desk I had in elementary school. Here is the desk I had in Junior HI. Here ...read more

Obedience is like being pregnant. In the same way that it is impossible to be kind of pregnant, it is impossible to be kind of obedient.

Prosperous Series

Contributed by Rick Stacy on Dec 2, 2014

That’s the world view of the good life… but it is as empty and unsatisfying as that huge chocolate bunny you get your kids at Easter. I mean it looks fabulous… but it’s hollow and it tastes like flavored wax.

The Unsatisfying Easter Bunny For most of people the word “prosperity” connects with the idea of being successful financially and living the “good” life. But in God’s economy prosperity is so much more than a thick roll of money in your pocket, two SUV’s in the ...read more
