The Apostle Paul has been so long-suffering with the church in Corinthian. This is s church that has struggled in so many areas. One of those areas was completing a love offering for the struggling brothers and sisters in the Jerusalem Church. Yet, Paul lovingly holds up the churches in Macedonia as examples of godly giving, even though the Macedonians were financially poor. What was the reason they were able to be so generous? The Scripture says, “They gave themselves first to the Lord.” Join us as we see the joy of doing so!

Enriched in Every Way
August 29, 2021 • Tim Miller • 2 Corinthians 9:11–15
Did you know that whatever God has given us has been entrusted to us for a very specific purpose? We tend to think that we have the freedom to do whatever we want with our money, but our faith in Jesus Christ gives us a whole new way of thinking about our possessions. Everything that we have belongs to God. We are all stewards of the time, treasures, and talents that He has given to us. Join us as we discover why God enriches us and what happens when we submit to handling money God’s way.
Being Ready
August 15, 2021 • D. Kevin Brown • 2 Corinthians 9:1–5
We all enjoyed watching the Olympics and heard over and over “Take your mark. Ready” and then the buzzer or gun is sounded. Being “ready” is very, very important in a race. If you aren’t, you’re beaten before you get out of the blocks. The same is true in the Christian life. We must always be prepared. Ready! But, then we must run the race. Being ready is not enough. We must run the race! Join us as learn how to do just that as we continue our study, “Giving Ourselves First to the Lord.”
