A place for my thoughts and sermons.
The second part of our Discipleship in 3G series is today’s message, “Give.” What did the poor widow teach us about giving? Do we really think about giving? How much time and love do we actually put into our gifts? Can we give in a way that makes our discipleship clear? That makes disciples of Christ? We make disciples by being disciples.

Today marks the final of the 7 Deadly Sins as we end with “Sloth.” Is sloth really just being lazy? Or is there something more to it? What happens when we don’t go out and do what we are supposed to do? And do we get slothful by being too busy? Do our words match our actions? We explore this and more as we explore the 7 deadly sins.
Our scripture reading comes from Luke 10:25-37.
