Giving in Faith (4 of 7)
Series: Unstoppable
Jim Perdue
Luke 6:38
We continue our series entitled, Unstoppable: 40 Days of Breakthrough Faith. More than a series, this is a campaign, a movement, a journey for our entire church. It's a journey of prayer, intimacy with God and fellowship with His Spirit.
Our sermons will coincide with this series, we have devotional books to coincide with this series: personal and for family. Our Life Group lessons will focus on prayer and our services each Sunday will center around prayer as well. Today, we're going to study Luke 6:38 as we talk about this subject, Giving in Faith.

Your giving is part of your faith walk with God.
If we are going to be the people God has called us to be then we must be generous people. My prayer is that God would bring a culture of generosity where we learn to be people who give in faith.
