Saving on Purpose

Saving and stewardship are not just about accumulating wealth, but about living with purpose and aligning our financial habits with values that reflect the kingdom.

A life without margin leaves little flexibility to serve others, support ministry, or participate in kingdom work. God designed generosity often requires readiness, and readiness requires margin.

The fall of man in the Garden of Eden introduced distortions in relationships, leading to a desire for control and manipulation. However, the gospel restores relationships to their original design, where men lead and women submit, and both are equal in essence but different in function. [... more]

Legacies of Light: Frank Jenner

The Bible emphasizes the importance of evangelism and witnessing, but it's not always easy. Relationships with unbelievers may be unfruitful, and witnessing doesn't always result in spiritual fruit. However, faithful obedience to the word is what matters, not the response of the world. The gospel exposes guilt over sin and produces a defensive attitude, but it's a necessary part of the process of leading people to Christ. [... more]
