This weekend, we are finishing up a series called “The Hardest Things to Give to God” by talking about money. For some reason, one of the hardest things to give to the Lord is “My Money”. If that is true for you, ask the Lord to open up your heart to the teaching and direction He wants to give to you today.The Hardest Things to Give to God: My Money#1.
