Being Baptist. Priesthood of all Belivers

Cheerful Giving

"God loves a cheerful giver" (2Cor 9:7). What does this mean for us today. How should we give? How much should we give? Why should we or do we give? Listen as Rod talks about money and giving and what it might mean for us today.

What is happening for Opawa Baptist today? Is shame the new guilt where people are more worried about acceptance or rejection rather than right or wrong? How do we live as Christians in a society where tolerance rules supreme. What does this mean for Our Church? Listen to Rods Sermon to go deeper.
