Discovering the Blessing of Generosity

Increasingly the world, the economy, and our general well-being seems to be uncertain. The anxieties and fears of the current climate can make us want to hold onto the resources that we have. That can sometimes be good when it pushes us to save and be wise with what we do, how we spend money, and commitments that we make. But when we are driven more by fear than wisdom, and when that fear pushes us to resist God’s call to be generous givers, we are missing out on more than we might realize.

Rest in the breath of God—Practicing Sabbath

Our world and our lives are busier than ever. We have commitments, responsibilities, to-do lists, and things we just want to do. We push ourselves to do more, accomplish more, and experience more. Yet, all this running and doing may be taking its toll on our minds, bodies and souls. We have very little time for rest and even less time for silent reflection. There is a better way—a way of true rest. But can we trust God enough to know that we can stop regularly moving, stop producing, and stop chasing?

Friendship doesn’t happen by accident

Being around people is not the same thing as friendship. Friendship requires intentional action, commitment, trust and openness. Friendship is a gift of God, but like all good things, it has to be cultivated. Together we will explore how to build friendships that will be a blessing to us and a witness of God’s love to the world.

Am I willing to risk everything that this world has to offer to receive what God has to offer—this is a critically important question for us.
