An approachable, Scripture-rich look at the gift of giving and how generosity flows from faith, gratitude, and a desire to glorify God. This message traces giving from Old to New Testament, highlights the blessings tied to generosity, and helps believers recognize when the Spirit has empowered them to give with unusual joy and confidence.

Drawing from God’s pattern of calling leaders, this message shows how His direction often requires a reordering of our location, our spiritual condition, and our priorities. Accepting God’s call touches time, talents, and resources, and often presses against personal comfort. True leadership begins with surrendering to God’s rearranging work so His purposes can take root.

This session explores Paul’s deeply personal reflections on the privilege and the price of his calling. He sees himself first as a servant, entrusted with a stewardship from God—to make the Word fully known, to reveal Christ to Gentiles, and to help believers grow toward maturity. Paul’s ministry wasn’t glamorous; it demanded suffering, perseverance, and emotional weight as he carried the concerns of young churches he’d never even met. Yet he speaks of these hardships with joy, because they draw him deeper into the life of Christ and remind him that God supplies the strength for what He asks of His people. The session closes with Paul’s pastoral prayer: that believers would be encouraged, united in love, grounded in Christ, and able to stand firm against teaching that sounds convincing but leads them away from Him.
