Let's talk openly and honestly about giving. Taking our cue from the generosity of God and the example of Macedonian Christians, we will be encouraged to be generous in our offering of both ourselves and our money.
How do our personal finances look? Do we have a budget? Are we crippled with debt? In this sermon, we will discuss the value of being honest and responsible with our personal finances. Does scripture give us a roadmap to achieve good personal/family finances?

It is up to us to take cues from scripture to embark on our own journey of understanding. What does the Bible tell us about God?
God's mission for our church must remain the focal point of our story as a church.
