How to Live through a Recession

Reading: Luke 12:22-34; 2 Corinthians 8:1-15

This is our last sermon focusing on 2 Corinthians before we move on to something else. We looked at Paul's exhortation to the Corinthians to give generously; it's always good to revisit how God's generosity to us forms the foundation of our generosity toward others.
