    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on May 8, 2024
     | 657 views

Koplitz James 2:1 My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. 2 For if a man comes into your assembly with a gold ring and dressed in fine ...read more

    God loves a cheerful, hilarious giver. This is a short all-age appropriate talk using a story and the giving out of chocolates to help people think about the resources God wants them to use hilariously for him.

For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you” (Luke 6:38). God is so good to me. God is so generous. St Paul once wrote that ...read more
