______________________________The Generosity Effect on Others
Are you lavishly generous with the resources God gave you? One of the ways we can show gratitude to God is through our generosity to others.
The Generosity Effect on Us
Does your value system reflect your understanding of stewardship? Pastor Barry shows us how we will never be satisfied if we place more importance on the love of money in place of love for God and God’s people.
Matter of the Heart
God ultimately doesn’t need our money but wants our heart. He knows that the two are interlinked. Listen as Pastor Barry shares his story of how God owns 100% of the finances.
Joyful Stewards of God’s Provision
Do we really believe that every good thing we have comes from God? Bill Scott explains that God prospers us to raise our standard of giving, not to raise our standard of living. When we have this mindset, giving back to God what is already His becomes a natural response to us, instead of a forced one.
Real Generosity
If we trust God as our source then we should trust God with our resources. But many Christians try to give God their leftovers instead of their first fruits. Pastor Barry explains how real generosity is always rewarded.

No matter how spiritual we may think we are, we will never experience the fullness of God’s blessing until we bring our money matters in line with the principles in His Word.
