Sunday Sermon: 7 September 2025

What does it truly mean to give with a cheerful heart? This week, in Stonelaw, we explore a vital aspect of Christian living... having a heart for giving! We read in the Bible that giving transcends mere financial transactions and becomes an act of worship, reflecting our trust in God's provision and our understanding of His grace.
We need to move passed common misconceptions about giving and cultivate a lifestyle of sowing generously, trusting God's provision, and experiencing the joy of participating in his divine work!

This week, we explore Psalm 96 and its powerful message of praise, sovereignty, and hope.

Are we ready to be inspired to fully worship through singing, proclaiming God's majesty, and living hope-filled lives?
