2 Cor 8-9- Teaching #6: The Grace of Giving (pt3 of 3)

May 20, 2013 By ray

2) We give generously AND we give eagerly. What if we give generously, but it feels like the money is being pried out of our hands because we give begrudgingly? What if we give but there is no joy and we feel coerced by God or God’s people to give. You could say, I did […]
