God has given us many blessings and thus many ways we might give to others. Jane explores 3 different giving mindsets – the bag (Haggai 1.6), the basket (Luke 6.38) and the barn (Proverbs 3.9-10). We’re called to give extravagantly and trust that God will give to us abundantly.

Working through 1 Kings 8.1-11 and Ephesians 5.18-19 Jon looks at being expectant in worship as a way of joining in with God’s story. Worship begins with gathering, worship is about God not us, worship is costly, and worship brings us closer to God.
