  by Jeff Austin December 13, 2009
  Stewardship of Giving     Tough economic times impacts everyone, many of us have a desire to give, but the daily grind of making ‘ends meet’ wears down our generosity.  In the end, we keep it for ourselves, just to get that little something extra.  Is this how it should be?&...

• Sermon 11/15/09 Worry is a Self -Inflicted Wound

  by Jeff Austin November 15, 2009
