    What motivates you to give? The Corinthians had an easy time setting unrealistic giving goals that set them up for failure, but a hard time giving in a way that released the gift to God and brought Him glory. In this chapter Paul gives us some valuable le

    The example of the Macedonian our Corinthian churches give us tremendous advice on the sensitive subject of tithing for NT believers today! Advice that is easy to understand requiring very little interpretation!

    So much is said about tithing and yet it is probably the most difficult subject for me to speak on. I think it would be actually easier if the church was wealthy. Why is this such a sensitive subject? Or maybe its me, but why is it so hard to preach on? What about to you? Think about it for a ...read more

    Generosity is an important aspect of Christianity. This sermon explores not only why we should be generous but also how we can be generous Christians.

    When it comes to generosity, who are the first people that come to mind? Does the church come to mind? Is the church the first thing you think of when you think of generosity? In other words, are we generous people? Well it’s a matter of perspective. Some of us have been richly blessed by ...read more
