A Tale of Two Storms

Here on this side of heaven, storms come, and storms go, and sometimes they leave a path of destruction. The effects can be physical, emotional, and spiritual. Sometimes we are left wondering why.

Where Your Treasure Is…

As we steward the Lord's resources, He invites us to live in a responsive posture before His Spirit and to prayerfully seek His desires for all that He has entrusted to us.

The Beautiful Journey of Giving

Responsive stewardship. What does God say about how we steward what He has entrusted to us? For many, this is a journey as we learn more about our identity in Christ and what He calls us to do with what He has provided.
