Welcome to the eighth episode of our summer teaching series, Discipleship Deep Dive. Today, Pastor Tony will teach us giving, stewardship and generosity. Some important topics he will cover include the teaching of the Bible that God is the owner of everything, the personal responsibility we all have to steward what God has given us, and the need for us to live generously to bless others. He will also show us some powerful scriptures and illustrations that will help us understand these practices and their importance in the life of a Christian! This series is for everyone who wants to deepen their commitment to God and His Word!
