BOLD Generosity
Choosing to give generously, to give until it truly costs us something, is a spiritual practice we often reserve for mature believers. But Jesus' encounter with Zacchaeus demonstrates that generosity is a natural response to Jesus' good news. When we truly encounter Jesus, giving ought to be a basic, initial response. If we have difficulty with choosing to be generous, we should ask ourselves: what did Zacchaeus see in Jesus that I don't?
From Series: "BOLD"
Let's face it: following Jesus in 21st Century America is pretty easy. Choosing to be a faithful picture of God for our friends, families and coworkers doesn't cost us much. But we have brothers and sisters all over the globe who have given up everything for Jesus - their homes, their families, even their lives. What can we learn from their bold faith? How can their stories inspire us to follow Jesus more faithfully? Join us in October and November as we ask, What's keeping me from a BOLD life?

Everyone’s a theologian. How can we be good at it?
Mention “theology” and watch everyone shrink back in their chairs. Words like Trinity, Sovereignty and Eschatology scare us away from asking good questions about God, about faith and Christianity. But that’s not how it’s supposed to be! We all talk about God. We’re all theologians, whether we realize it or not. In this class, we’ll rescue theology from the ivory tower.
