Rewind - Giving is Worship

Rewind - Unleashed
Pastor Val revisits highlights from a few of his sermon series from earlier in the year. According to the Bible giving is as much an act of worship as prayer, bible study, singing songs of praise or using our time and talents in ministry and yet it is not often regarded that way. Our approach to giving is often nonchalant and optional rather than significant and beneficial.
