(Read Luke 18:18-23. Yeah, we really want you to read it!)
Sometimes when I read through the Gospels and listen in on the conversations Jesus had with people, He doesn’t seem like the best conversationalist. He had a tendency to avoid the question being asked and instead brings up something that [...]

We have been talking a lot the last two weeks in our series “Not That Into You” about our relationships with God. I especially loved David’s message last week. The bottom line of his talk was the idea that God never leaves us. He is always passionately pursuing us and in order for us to [...]

I don’t know about you, but there are some things I just don’t need to be taught how to do. Some things just come naturally to me—like covering things up. Chances are you know this. We know how to sound good, look good and even act good, when deep down [...]

Every one of us has experienced it at some point. At one time, we were really into a relationship—whether that’s a friendship or a dating relationship—and now, well, not so much.

But when I read this verse I can’t argue with the fact that God loves a cheerful giver.
2 Corinthians 9:7
7 Each one must give as he [...]

Matthew 19:24
24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.

We are going to be talking about generosity over the next couple days. Here are a few questions:
1. What do you think the life of a generous person looks like?

2. Would you consider yourself a generous person?
Haggai 1:4-7
4 Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies [...]

We still want to hear how you have done something generous to an enemy or stranger… What happened?
What Scripture are you reading or have you read in the past is encouraging you right now as you seek to meet this challenge?
