A Willing Heart | October 11th, 2026
Generosity can easily become a comparison game. We notice what others have, what others give, or what we wish we had and conclude that our contribution doesn't matter. Paul offers a different perspective. The Corinthians had previously expressed a desire to give, and now he encourages them to...
-
Grace that Gives | October 4th, 2026

The Table Grows Wider (Easter) | April 5, 2026
