Sermon series: Getting Better

We live in a time of unprecedented division. Yet the mission of Christ and His Church is one of unity – unity of faith in Christ, knowledge of God, and, above all, love. And as we learn how to build and grow the Body of Christ, together we will be a people rooted in just that. Because no matter how bleak the world may seem, in the Kingdom – things are getting better and better. (1 Corinthians 12)

It's Normal

When it comes to our Sunday offering, what is "normal" giving? Normal giving is what we are able to do just in our normal everyday lives. It doesn't involve any real sacrifice or reliance on God to make it happen. Biblically, we would say that normal giving begins with tithing. Since tithing is the moral positioning of our material lives in front of God. Tithing is when we allow God to lead us at the most basic material level - how we live. So, because full devotion to Jesus Christ is normal, tithing is actually normal giving. But even in our tithing, as we see, God promises to bless us beyond measure. God is not promising to make anyone rich if they tithe. But He is promising that when we live obediently in our material lives, God will bless us beyond our ability to contain it. And you will be able to tell how He is blessing you.
