Posted on: 20 Jan 2021

Many of us did not realize the lockdown, community quarantine, and the limited physical movement would last this long.

Biblical Stewardship: The Foundation of All Generosity
Posted on: 06 Aug 2018
Generosity is the overflow of the stewardship mindset that says God owns it all and I am only a steward of the resources in my hands, including my life. This truth has far-reaching implications in the way we live our lives and use the resources entrusted to us including money, possessions, our work, our business, and everything else we got.
