David & Samuel


Samuel: An answer to his mother’s prayer, a judge over Israel, anointed David King over Israel. David: Served God passionately, sinned against God, was “a man after God’s own heart,” his “future was in God’s hands,” his heart longed for God.” How do you reconcile these statements about David? How do they reflect your experience with God?

Proportional Generosity


The church has constantly wrestled with the question of how much are followers of Jesus required to give by God. In this message we trace the biblical passages regarding tithing to try to answer this question. In the end we are called to give in proportion to what we receive. Generosity is not found in an amount, but in the proportion of what we spend and keep for ourselves compared to what we give for the sake of God and others.
