    Stewardship - special offering, Using the Cheese dip in the Mexican restaurant as a illustration of who provided the cheese.

    Today our scriptures come from Paul’s 2nd letter to the Corinthians. Paul sounds a little like some people I know. You know the type, the ones that volunteer other people for things.

    World Hunger Sunday, 1989: We will find joy in giving if we make our giving a priority, if it is done proportionately and sacrificially, and if we see it as a privilege.

    The notion is going around in some circles that poor people are happy people. Have you heard that? It’s a kind of romantic idea, that poor people are happy people, that when you have nothing you at least have each other, you at least depend on God … you know all the usual things that are said. I ...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

    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
