What if we could change the world through generosity? This week, Pastor Ron B. Smith speaks on generosity and the Wonder Project, illustrating the profound impact of generosity through the life of Barnabas. From Acts 4:36-37 to Acts 11:26, we explore stewardship, friendship, partnership, discipleship, and mending relationships as acts of true generosity. Discover how Barnabas challenges us to be the encouragement and change we want to see in our lifetime. We're so thankful you've chosen to dive deeper into God's Word. Here at WaterStone Church, we want to empower everyone to get into His Word, because we believe it is the primary way you can come out of, through, and into the life, God designed for you. Here are some quick tips to get the most out of the message: - Put it into your own words. As you take notes, re-write the main points in your own voice and style. - Go before and beyond. Anytime a bible verse is mentioned, read what comes before and after it for more context. - Pray about it. Talk to Jesus, asking Him for the strength to understand and apply what you learned. - Talk it out. They say the best way to learn is to teach. Share a point that either inspired or challenged you with a friend to understand it better.
