When Christians are known as people who are generous, helpful, and loving, the kingdom of God takes off like a rocket ship. Cultivating a #forTallahassee presence isn't just the right thing for our church to do, it's key to our mission of helping disconnected people connect to God.

God is crystal clear in his promise to provide for the needs of generous people so that they might be even more generous. The real question is, "Do I believe that?"

God's hope for our finances is to live free to love him and be able to serve other people. If you're in a financial hole you need to dig out of, he offers us some principles where we can start.

Jesus gives us a diagnostic question to determine who's in charge: our money or God? We never experience the life of the kingdom when our priorities are out of whack.

We don't think of it this way, but money can be a very dangerous thing to our spiritual health. With God's help, though, money can rest in its proper place and we can find life with God.

It's easy to get scared of money and anxious about our material resources. But when we truly believe a basic underlying principle about who God is, we can deliver a fatal blow on our financial worries.

What makes our extraordinary father distinct is not just his identity, but his family. When we build a diverse family of God in this world, we are an example of heaven on earth.

"No pain, no gain" isn't just a good motto at the gym. Pain is the process by which we become more spiritually fit and experience healing.

We all have imperfect fathers. Part of discovering our extraordinary father is shedding our imperfect images of fathers so we can discover the one, true, perfect Father.
