Pastor Laura Johnson - In this ancient text from Deuteronomy there are instructions for how the faithful are to live in the Promised Land. Specifically, in these verses, the Hebrew people are instructed to take "first fruits" - a token presentation of each agricultural crop into the sanctuary. Christian tradition builds on this Hebrew tradition, often describing our tithes and offering as "first fruits." Join us this week as we explore the nature of generosity, especially where it starts.
