John 6:26-27 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which...

Pastor Aaron Graham shares from 2 Corinthians 9:12-15 how when we give out of a gospel confession, generosity doesn't just fuel the mission; it IS the mission.

Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness, while you are enriched in everything for all liberality, which causes thanksgiving through us to...

How we give is even more important than what we give. 2 Corinthians 9:6-8

In this passage we see Paul bringing credibility to those who will come to receive the offerings. He commends them as trustworthy. Paul makes every effort to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord, but also in the eyes of man. He...

True generosity starts in the heart with our desire. The church at Corinth said a year earlier that they had the desire to give; now a year later Titus is coming to receive the collection. Paul is urging them to have the same desire they showed...

Matthew 26: 30-75

Matthew 14:22-36

Peter was an ordinary fisherman who transformed into a follower of Jesus. He was faithful, yet flawed. Peter was the first to profess Jesus as the Son of God, yet he later denied knowing him. Peter went on to give his life for the sake of his call. In...
