The Liturgy of Giving

In this week's sermon we embark on the touchy subject of giving.  Before giving is about meeting needs, which it is.  Before giving is about attempting to steward our possessions, which it is.  Before giving is about paying church salaries, which at times, it is.  Giving is about formation.  In a world that bows to the idols of accumulation, a growing bottom line, and excess Jesus calls us to rebel against these values through the worshipful act of giving.
