God Is Good

We had a great day at the beach on Sunday when four people were obedient to the Lord in baptism. We had a good lunch and a lot of great fellowship too!

We are quickly approaching the end of summer and I would like to encourage you in your giving to Venice Church. God has been so good to us. He always knows exactly what we need. He always provides for us. I have no doubt that God will continue to graciously provide for Venice Church.

My desire is for you to experience God’s blessings as well. God has given each one of us the honor and responsibility of supporting our church financially through our tithes and offerings. Many of us, most of us in fact, have made a commitment to pay off the debt that we incurred when we remodeled our building. We enjoy the new space each week. We must be faithful to our commitment to pay for it. Please, know and understand this. God blesses those who give to His church with joy. Be faithful and keep giving and God will surely bless you.

2 Corinthians 9:7-8
You must each make up your own mind as to how much you should give.
Don't give reluctantly or in response to pressure. For God loves the person who gives cheerfully. [8] And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.

I look forward to seeing you on Sunday.
