In commissioning Joshua to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land, God repeated the phrase "Be strong and courageous," three times. Fear may feel overwhelming to us, but we don't have to give in to fear. Fear is a feeling, but courage is an attitude. Through Christ, we can live with a courageous attitude because we know that He is with us.

Jesus promised that if we give, it will be given to us. That verse has been used countless times to ask people to give financially to a church or a ministry. However, does that verse apply to giving monetarily? Or does it apply in different ways?

Some people complain that churches talk about money too often, but there's something our church needs even more than money.
