NEW SERMON SERIES:
YOU CAN'T SAY "$#%&X" IN CHURCH!
This week (10/30):
"$"
Scripture: Mark 12:41-44
November is generally the month where we focus on stewardship and giving in the church. I get it . . . not a popular subject, but it is an important part of ministry. In fact, Jesus deemed this subject so important that almost half of His parables were centered on money. To Jesus, our bank accounts tell a story. They tell the story about our faith, our trust, and our willingness to be used by God to impact lives. This Sunday we will unpack what it really means to be stewards of God's money. - ART
