Pastor David Rials from Life United Church gave a warm and conversational sermon titled 'Generosity Speaks'. He thanked the congregation for their help in clearing out the toddler wing and announced temporary changes for the children's ministry. The main purpose of his message was to encourage and challenge the church in their financial contributions to support the ministry. He emphasized the importance of generosity and how it speaks about our faith. He also addressed common misconceptions about money and taught that prosperity starts with who we have, not what we have.

Ask God what He would have you do in terms of giving and then follow through with it.
