Don't Discount Smallness

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Mar 24, 2014

A Motivation To Give For Small Givers Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 26, 2019

That’s all well and good, many of you are thinking, but who exactly is joyful about giving to the offering plate? It’s hard for many to believe that there are ...read more

God Abides In Small Places

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 21, 2022

The Lord can be found abiding – and alive and well – in small places; and it is very important for us to be reminded of this fact because of America’s belief that “bigger ...read more
