Four ways to grow in our giving: 1) kindle concern; 2) trust totally in the Lord; 3) proactively partner in ministry and; 4) invest for eternity. 

Giving is a gift of grace to you even as it is a gift of grace through you – to experience joy, love and growth. 

Learning from Peter and others in the Bible, we will see three common ways we fail and how to learn from those experiences.

The Lord's Prayer

Philippians 1:12-18 – how a kingdom perspective keeps us focused on mission even when we face difficult circumstances, difficult people and difficult emotions.

At the heart of the sermon on the mount, right after the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus addresses the issue of eternal treasure and worry. And yes, the two things are closely related. 

Stewardship is the faithful management of everything God has entrusted to us.

Three wonderful promises emerge that will converge for our eternal joy: 1) in the perfect justice of God; 2) in the steadfast love of God and; 3) in the comprehensive peace of God. Come be encouraged by our joy in Jesus now and forevermore!

God is not impressed by accurate theology from our lips if our lives are filled with sin and injustice. This chapter confronts our hypocrisy and calls us to true spirituality that seeks justice, shows compassion and expresses sincere devotion.

Let’s follow the five steps outlined here, responding to God’s call: 1) thirst – admit your need; 2) turn – forsake your sin; 3) seek – study God’s Word; 4) receive – commit to Jesus and; 5) rejoice – experience the overflowing grace of God!
