Friday: Giving Generously

BIG IDEA for the week:  The best way to start 2026 is to take the RIGHT NEXT STEP in your faith.  

Scripture: "Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." - 2 Corinthians 9:7

Giving is an act of worship and a reflection of God’s generosity. When you give freely and cheerfully, you participate in God's work on earth and express your trust in His provision. Generous giving blesses others and transforms your own heart.
