In the final week of our series *Walking in Wisdom*, we slow down to look at the **sacred pace of wisdom**.

In week 7 of our “Walking In Wisdom” series, Pastor Shane unpacks what Proverbs and 1 Timothy teach us about money, generosity, and greed.

Learn how to honor God with your “first fruits,” practice wise stewardship, and live open-handed and free in a culture ruled b...

On Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem to shouts of “Hosanna!”—but within days many of those same voices cried “Crucify Him.” Why?
