Better to Give than Receive: Reflecting the Incarnational Love of Christ
Christ should be our example in how we are to sacrificially love when people are difficult, trusting that God will faithfully reward those who imitate Christ.

Our personal dissimilarities and diversity actually work in favor of our mission when we pull together as a church to evangelize and disciple our generation in preparation for Christ’s return.
Training People to Serve Christ

The Encouragement of Mutual Support
We must be eager to fulfill our responsibility to materially and spiritual meet the needs of our brothers and sisters in Christ.

A Word to the Willing
In the next three weeks, with the right motives, “the willing ought to make a wise and formal decision about their participation in the our church’s building program.
The Big Project
This will be an expensive project (just like it always was in the Bible), but if God is in it then God’s people will, in time, successfully make it happen.
Using Money for Good
Before we start giving to special projects, we’d better understand God’s instructions and expectations regarding our weekly giving.
A Good Facility
A healthy church is a changing church and those changes produce opposition and call for flexibility and generosity.
Serious About Giving
We are the greatest benefit to the body of Christ when we, like Christ, are the most generous.
