Giving is a topic that God seems to be more interested in than we typically are. This message helps us to see it in a new light by examining the principles and motivation that drove the generosity of the early church.
The 80s song “Personal Jesus” captures how most Christians see their faith. “Someone to hear your prayers; Someone who cares; Your own personal Jesus.” In seeking to personalize their faith, many have individualized it and failed to invest in the fellowship we need to grow. This message looks at the example of the early church and how to share our lives in fellowship.
As the popularity of church membership has declined, we’ve become more disconnected and spiritually vulnerable as Christians. And its purpose and value has been lost in the process. This message looks at why church membership is an essential step in God’s plan to equip and build our faith.
