Hebrews 11

by Lon on August 27, 2008

Here’s the passage for those of you following along.

Could we be rich fools?

by Lon on August 5, 2008

Here are the slides with the passage and images from the message this past sunday if you missed it or wanted some recall.
What do you think?

I’m not saying we all need to be poor.  The opposite of greed is not poverty, but generosity.
How might you be intentional and strategic about living a life of generosity [...]
