Sermon Title: True Worshipers Sacrifice Tithes & Offerings Passage: Ephesians 4:11-16 Key Theme: True worship flows from Spirit and truth and is expressed in tangible obedience—notably through tithes and offerings given from firstfruits.

Summary: Paul frames Christian maturity in Ephesians 4:11–16: Christ supplies leaders to equip the saints so the whole body grows up into Him, no longer tossed by every new idea but speaking the truth in love....

I’ve often come up with little poems and rhymes for no reason at all. Usually, no one ever reads or hears them with the exception of my wife. However, back in 2018, when I was first getting started in Software Development, it was around Christmas time and I suddenly had an epiphany that I could write a coding related poem where Santa saved a Developer’s Christmas because he had learned to code....

Several years ago my doctor diagnosed me with pre-diabetes with insulin resistance. At first, I didn’t take it very seriously and continued with the carb binges. I don’t even want to think about how many carbs I was consuming on a daily basis. Of course, along with the carbs came the high spikes and low crashes in blood sugar.
