Philippians.
The Book of Philippians, written by the Apostle Paul while in prison, is a letter filled with joy, encouragement, and profound spiritual truths for the church in Philippi. Despite his circumstances, Paul expresses gratitude and hope, teaching us to find true contentment in Christ regardless of life’s challenges. Through this series, we’ll explore themes like joy in suffering, humility, unity in faith, and the peace that comes from knowing Christ. Paul’s message remains relevant today, reminding us that our true identity and joy are found in Him, not in our circumstances.

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.
