A Growing and Generous Church

June 18, 2023 • Pedro Rosario • Acts 2:42–47

Give

Acts 2:42-47 reveals several things about the church and Pastor Pedro presented us with a question. ‌What can we discover from Acts 2:42 to 47 about a generous and growing church?

The early church:

1. They devoted themselves to the apostles and to one another.

2. They sold their possessions.

3. They experienced community and had true koinonia (fellowship with depth).

4. Growing Church by making Disciples.

A Joy-Filled Giver

June 25, 2023 • Pedro Rosario • 2 Corinthians 9:6–11

In 2 Corinthians 9, Paul encourages the Corinthians believers to keep their commitment to give. Paul is addressing the collection for the church in Jerusalem. Paul explains that he is sending Titus and the others so that the Corinthians' contribution can be ready when he visits. He’s boasted about their willingness to help, and that he, along with the Corinthians themselves, would be embarrassed if he arrived with the Macedonians and found them unprepared (2 Corinthians 9:1-5). Paul encourages the Corinthians to give generously by contending that God loves a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:6-11).

A Legacy of Financial Discipleship

June 11, 2023 • Pedro Rosario • Matthew 6:19–24

The truth is this, finances touch every area of your life (Matthew 6:21). With this in mind we should joyfully give God our time, talent, testimony, and treasure!

He Owns It All

June 4, 2023 • Jerome Gay Jr. • Psalm 24:1–6

The question for us is are we living like owners or stewards? David has established God’s rule and reign and we should respond in a way that honors His authority and power. When we hear that everything is the Lord’s that should change how we view what we consider to be ours and how we treat it. Are you giving God your Time, Talent, Testimony, Treasure? You and I should do this joyfully because He Owns It All.
