Like many things, God defines generosity differently than we do. When we think about generosity we think in terms of “amount” God looks at our “heart”. In this message we will look at 3 passages of scripture to see that generosity is a heart issue. So we will invite the Holy Spirit to examine our hearts as we look into his word.

Every dad loves a good teachable moment! A lesson in responsibility, integrity, consequence for actions, hard work, perseverance. Don’t undersell the power of a teachable life. A teachable life trumps a teachable moment any day. It’s easy to overestimate what you can accomplish in 30 minutes and underestimate what you can accomplish in 30 years! We can have a tendency to beat ourselves up over mis...

God wants to bless people in this world by caring for their needs, validating their value, easing their suffering, by giving them hope, by showing compassion through generosity! He delights to be generous to all, even those who do not know him or want know him. So He’s looking for people who will be his “agent of blessing.”

Generosity reflects God’s nature! God is lavish in his love & care for us (2 Cor 8:8-9). God’s love for us is demonstrated by what he has done for us. Love is the motivation of heaven & giving is the action of heaven. God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son (John 3:16).

In every season of motherhood it is hard to find time to just breathe. Whether you have young kids, work or are even caring for your elderly parents, it’s a struggle to find time to breathe and be with God.

Nehemiah gives a case study in the enemies strategies to stop God’s work. If an attack from the outside can’t stop the work then what about attack from within?

The church is equipped and called to contend with the forces of darkness in this world as citizens of the light. We are not here to ignore the darkness, placate the darkness, or hide from the darkness. We are called to contend with the forces of darkness in this world for the sake of the world.

Sometimes it’s easy to identify strongholds in our culture, but God cares deeply about our families. He wants to address the strongholds in our families before he uses us to contend against the strongholds in our culture. It always begins with our house (individual house, church house). Once He leads us, He can use us to lead others.

As we advance forward in our faith to contend against the forces of darkness we will encounter enemy strongholds. These are places with entrenched ideologies and attitudes that oppose the truth about God or his way of life. These strongholds are protected by intimidation, fear of retribution, social pressure (ostracizing or acceptance), reward for compliance (promotion). As we learn to contend str...
