This Sunday, Pastor Barbara continues the "Entrusted" sermon series.
When all is said and done, the questions God will ask us about our giving will have little to do with dollars and cents, but, 'Where were your priorities?' 'What did you think about the most?' 'Did you value the work of my kingdom first and foremost?' and 'Was your heart in your giving at all?' Join us as we explore what account of the "Widow's Mite" teaches us about being "all in" for the kingdom of God.
