In this podcast, we explore Paul's letter to the Corinthians as he upholds the Macedonian church as a place that lived out of its generosity and not just out of abundance.

In this final podcast of our Spirit Unleashed series, Pastor Doug reminds us that we do not walk the life of faith and generosity alone but that we do this with a great cloud of witnesses, saints from our past and saints in our present to bless the saints of the future.

On All Saints weekend, Pastor Jay compares the word “blessed” between the Gospel text and our current reality, explaining that suffering can provide opportunity for God to come in.

Celebrating Reformation Sunday, Pastor Doug describes our gift of being “free” and how that extraordinary freedom allows us to choose what fills us up.

I know we are told not to test God, but in this episode, Pastor Doug reminds us of a time when God says, "Try me." What if we took that step into generosity? God says "Try me." What if we practiced radical compassion, not just for a week but for a year? God says "Try me." God promises that we will see and know God more clearly when we are generous with our love, our kindness, our service, and yes,...

Pastor Jay focuses on the generosity of Jesus and how we called to be radically generous through our entire being.

In the feeding of the 5000, Jesus doesn't show generosity by breaking bread and giving it to the crowd to eat, but by having compassion on all those who are gathered. He then commands the disciples to feed. In this podcast, Pastor Doug encourages us to dig deep and think about what we want to change in the world with our own compassionate generosity.

Pastor Laura encourages us to fully participate in all things in the world so that we can live truly as God’s children.

In this first part of the Spirit Unleashed series at Abiding Hope Church, Pastor Doug leads us in a study on the first words in the book of Genesis, reminding us we are made in the image and likeness of God. We are living as a part of God, and this includes God's generosity. How do we reflect God's nature by our own commitment to generosity?
