[Sunday] Split Abundance - Generosity
Have no other Gods before me. What does this mean? We should fear love and trust in God above all things. God has created us in abundance, so rest.

Virtually every life transforming event recorded in Scripture includes a journey, a process the people involved go through that leads to insight, transformation and new life for all willing to engage that journey. The journey always includes elements of sacrifice, worship, trust and faith. Christmas is about Jesus making the journey from heaven to earth, for the Magi it was the journey from wisdom to humility. For us, it is a journey to wonder and new life.
