GIVING
“Every good and perfect gift is from above,
coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights” (James 1:17)
All we are and everything we have is a gift from God and so the more we come to see what God has done for us the more freedom we feel to use the gifts we have to encourage and support one another. God is at work in our lives, our homes, our church and our community – but He mostly accomplishes this work through people. Each one of us has time and gifts and resources that build up the body of Christ. Using our talents and treasures becomes one of the ways we worship the God who has blessed us.
