What does a truly generous heart look like? In scripture, we are told that it is better to give than to receive. A heart of generosity goes beyond our finances, and includes every aspect of our lives.

Is the idea of "tithing" simply an Old Testament law? The whole of Scripture actually reveals to us that tithing is really a life-giving lifestyle rather than another rule to follow.

Why is "first" so important in Scripture? Throughout all of scripture, we are told that when it comes to our giving, the first belongs to God. This is true not only of our treasure, but our time and talent as well.

The most important relationship in our lives is the one we have with God. It is our relationship with God that ultimately gives our lives purpose. So if that's the case, then as believers, what exactly is that purpose?

Children are one of the best gifts God has given us. As parents, raising them isn't always easy, but it's one of the most important duties we are given. In a culture where anything goes, how to we raise of kids to follow the right path?

Remember Jerry McGuire's famous romantic declaration, "You complete me"? We often think that connections and relationships with other people can add wholeness and completion to our lives, but this is far from the truth. If we want to build intimate relationships with other people, we first have to work towards wholeness on our own.

The two greatest commandments we are given by Jesus are to love God and love our neighbor. These two actions are inseparable. If we want to be closer than ever with God, we have to be closer than ever to the people around us, even if they are not believers.

The relationship with our spouse is extremely important and Scripture gives us clear instructions on how to make a marriage work. It takes two main ingredients: Love and Respect.

There are enemies in our lives that seek to destroy us. The world, the Devil, and our own flesh are at constant work against us. The Bible says, however, that we are more than conquerers and through Jesus, we have the power to overcome!

In John 7 Jesus presents us with a problem...himself. Jesus is the problem. The crowd was divided on exactly who he was. Some said He was a good man, others said He was crazy, some thought He was a fraud, and some said He the Messiah. The crowd is still divided to this day, which begs us to ask, who is Jesus?

As Christians, we do not believe and act as the world does...or at least are not supposed to. Jesus taught a much different worldview than what his disciples and even the religious leaders of the time had. So how does Jesus show us to think differently from the world?

At the end of this discussion on bread, grace, forgiveness, and eternal life, many of the people following Jesus were left perplexed and even offended. As followers of Jesus, what are we to do when we find ourselves in the same situation? What does it really mean to follow Jesus?
