This Weekend's Message: How Did I Get Here?


Have you ever felt trapped? Have you ever felt like you are going in never-ending circles with no way out? Have you ever been to the Ontario Mills Mall?? Being trapped is such a helpless feeling and while we may find mazes amusing for a while, they can quickly make us hopeless and discouraged.

This weekend we are starting a new series titled "Trapped," where we are going to look at some of the things that trap us – get us turned around and discouraged – when it comes to being generous givers. We have just come out of the Christmas season where giving is a major theme for most people. While many can plan for the expenses of Christmas, what about the rest of the year and the opportunities that God may put before you to be part of something he is doing? Are you able and willing to give when the Holy Spirit leads you, or are you trapped by insecurities and obligations that cause you to justify why you can't or shouldn't have to?

This is going to be a great series that will hopefully cause each of us to ask God to teach us to be better givers of ourselves and our resources.

See ya Sunday,
Jeff
