The statistics are as significant as they are surprising - nearly half the

parables of Jesus deal with issues to do with money and wealth, and fully

10% of the verses in the New Testament are about the same subject. For

Jesus, how we deal with our money and wealth really matters. In this

sermon, the first of a short series, we look at 2 Cor 8, and see how Paul

leads the Corinthians church and us - to be a 'centre of excellence' in

Christian stewardship.
