"Give It All Away" - Tim Mannin
Generous: becoming a generous people (part 3) In our final week of the generous series, we learn to approach life as "everything we have is a gift from God, and potentially a gift to others." Our money, our time, our talents, our wisdom... are we holding onto too much? Paul describes churches and people who have little, yet cheerfully give for the sake of the gospel, what can we learn from them? (2 Cor. 8, 9 - Acts 10, 11, 13, 15, 17 - Matt. 6)

Collectively as a body we desire to become a generous people and we were so excited to announce this morning our plan to donate our church's tithe to the building of a brand new church in Kenya. More details to come! (Luke 21, Malachi 3:8-10, Leviticus 27:30)
