We should always give God our Best. That should happen in our work, in our worship, and by giving God ALL our heart. However, it is easy to settle in our relationship with God and start to only give Him what we might think is “good enough.” Don’t settle. Always Give God Your Best.Follow Along with Message Notes -->CLICK HERE<--

Generosity means “readiness or liberality in giving. Freedom from meanness or smallness of mind. Largeness or fullness.” Ridiculous means “worthy of ridicule or derision; absurd; preposterous; laughable.” Put those two words together you have an oxymoron of sorts. However, when you consider what God has done by giving us His son; when you consider all we possess belongs to God, including our time and talent; being ridiculously generous becomes more realistic. This being Thanksgiving week, what an opportunity to take our expressions of being Ridiculously Generous and apply them to gratitude. This week, we’re talking about being “Grateful” Expressing Ridiculously Generous Gratitude! Follow along with Msg Notes -->CLICK HERE<--

This week, how might we view serving as something we get to do and not something we have to do? It‟s “Serving Time.” Follow Along With Msg Notes -->CLICK HERE<--

How we view money and how we use it is a very relevant topic relating to generosity. This week we are going to talk about money…because Money Talk$! Follow along with message notes -->CLICK HERE<--

Generosity means “readiness or liberality in giving. Freedom from meanness or smallness of mind. Largeness or fullness.” Ridiculous means “worthy of ridicule or derision; absurd; preposterous; laughable.” Put those two words together you have an oxymoron of sorts. However, when you consider what God has done by giving us His son; when you consider all we possess belongs to God; ridiculously generous becomes more realistic. Over the next four weeks we are going to discover what it means to be Ridiculously Generous. Bear in mind, “God loves us and wants the best for us! He does not want something from us. He wants something for us and He knows that we will thrive when we give ourselves away. So, He calls us to be RIDICULOUSLY GENEROUS!” Follow along w/Msg Notes -->CLICK HERE<--

To the Ends of the Earth” is our 2019 theme for our month of mission’s emphasis. And what an intriguing phrase! It includes the remote places but doesn’t exclude the down the street places. Jesus’ command was that we would be witnesses to the whole world. So, today “To the Ends of the Earth.” Follow Along with Msg Notes --->CLICK HERE<--

We are blessed to welcome Scott and Karen Hanson this weekend as our missionary guests. Since 1994 they have served in Africa as missionaries. They have a passion for seeing the gospel taken to people groups who have never heard the good news. Scott is the continental Strategic Leader for Unreached People Groups in Africa, where he is pivotal in the development of ministries to those who have never heard the gospel. Over the last three years, we have also worked toward the goal of aiding every AGWM missionary team on the continent to develop a strategic engagement plan, including
tools by which they can measure their continued progress.  Please view the Missions Bulletin -->CLICK HERE<--

I am pretty confident that most of us are familiar with the idiom, “Curiosity killed the cat…” but most of us don’t know the second half of the statement, “…but satisfaction brought it back.” So, we use the first half of the saying as a warning: Be careful of the dangers of unnecessary investigation or experimentation! But the second part -- "satisfaction brought it back" -- shows that the risk might be worth it. It is our hope that this series, “Curious: God’s Answers to Your Curious Questions” will eliminate any “danger” that you might associate with a curious question, and then when we see God’s answer the “risk” we’ve taken will indeed be worth it! Today, “Losing faith: its reality and remedy.” Follow Along w/Message Notes -->CLICK HERE<--

SPOILER ALERT!: I'm not going to talk about what you should DO to put others first today. I'm going to talk about the heart that God wants us to have when we put others first. Our attitude matters more than our actions. The biggest issue that we face when trying to adopt the attitude of putting others first is our own selfishness. If I put another person first, then where does that leave me? Not first. Lets ask the Holy Spirit to help us put others first and have the right attitude by working from the inside out.Download & Print Message Notes -->CLICK HERE<--
