-THIS SUNDAY'S SERMON- Giving to the needy for the glory of God

Dear River Family,

This Sunday, Lord willing, we will revisit Matthew 6:1-4.

It does not take us too long to think and understand that giving to the needy originates with God. Take some time to think about God's giving to man. What has God given man and what does it reveal about the character of God?

The following passages will be helpful in preparation for Sunday's sermon:

Galatians 6:9-10 Romans 12:13 Matthew 5:43-48 Matthew 25:31-46

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful; He will surely do it.

Grace and Peace,

Eric
