Joy in Generosity: Who Do You Trust?

Text: Malachi 3:7-12

Most Christians understand God's calling for us to live a life of generosity. He has given us ample information and instructions to carry out this mission. However, that does not mean that we are all living a life of generosity. There are many practical reasons and logical explanations that we can give to explain this problem, but God shows us in His Word that it really comes down to one key thing - trust. Are we willing to trust God or not? If you would like to grow in generosity and increase your trust in the Lord, we invite you to listen to this message to be encouraged and challenged today.

Joy in Generosity: What Do You Seek?

Text: Luke 12:22-34

We are all seeking something in this world, and the world gives us no shortage of options. Some seek fame, a good name, wealth, position, possessions, power, and influence – just to name a few. God, though, shows us that the key to living a life that matters for eternity is to seek one key thing first. This great priority will impact every aspect of how we live and how we give. We invite you to listen today to discover this key priority and to decide that you will seek the one thing that truly matters.

Joy in Generosity: Who Do You Serve?

Text: Matthew 6:19-24

The world is always deceiving us and striving to convince us that we will be happy when we have more – more money, possessions, influence, power, relationships, etc. God, though, shows us that this is a lie. The truth is that great joy is experienced not in getting but in giving. In Acts 20:35 we are reminded that Jesus Himself said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” But, do we really believe this? Do we truly practice this? We begin this series today by looking at the words of Jesus concerning our management of wealth. We invite you to listen today as we each carefully consider, “Who do you serve?”

The Light of Christmas: The Light Still Shines

Text: Matthew 5:14-16

All throughout the Christmas season we were reminded that Jesus is the Light of Christmas. We celebrate the birth of Christ because Jesus came into this broken, darkened world to shine His Light for all mankind to be rescued from sin. When we read the Bible, though, we discover that Jesus is not only the Light that one day came into the world, He is still the Light that is shining for all to see so that all may experience eternal life through Him. How is that possible? How is He still shining in this dark world today? The answers are simple but profound, and every Christian has a strategic role to play. We invite you to listen today to discover your part in the Light that still shines.
