Faithful Giving & Generosity

A number of months ago our friend, Aaron Odle preached a sermon on giving and generosity, specifically when it comes to our finances.  It was a memorable sermon and at the time I believed it to be one of the better sermons I've heard on how believers should approach giving.

More recently, I was talking with another friend of mine about this same subject and found myself referencing this sermon as we discussed how the Gospel affects our finances.

After that conversation I listened to Aaron's sermon again and was blown away by the depth of his care, candor, and boldness in preaching on what can be quite a difficult topic for many of us and the realization that this was Aaron's first sermon!  I now feel that it is one of the best sermons I've heard preached regarding how the gospel affects our giving and generosity.

I want to share this because while Missy and I are on the side of the coin (no pun intended) where we are asking people to support our endeavors in Perth, Australia; it has also caused us to step back and evaluate our own giving and rejoice in the Lord as we ask others to give to the work God has called us to down under.
