“The sun which shines upon the earth, and glorifies all nature, the weird, solemn radiance of the moon, the glories of the firmament, spangled with brilliant stars, the showers that refresh the land, and cause vegetation to flourish, the precious things of nature in all their varied richness, the lofty trees, the shrubs and plants, the waving grain, the blue sky, the green earth, the changes of day and night, the renewing seasons, all speak to man [us] of his [our] Creator’s love.” — Counsels on Stewardship,p. 17.

What's In Your Hands: A Generous Life


Speaker: Pastor Tara VinCross

Scripture: Proverbs 11:25

Meditation:

“Whatever we render to God is, through His mercy and generosity, placed to our account as faithful stewards. . . . The glory of God is the joy and the blessing of all created beings. When we seek to promote His glory we are seeking for ourselves the highest good which it is possible for us to receive. . . . God calls for the consecration to His service of every faculty, of every gift, you have received from Him. He wants you to say, with David: “All things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee” (1 Chron. 29: 14)." – God’s Amazing Grace, p. 60

What's In Your Hands: Brick and Mortar


Speaker: Pastor Tara VinCross

Scripture: Matthew 6:31-34

Meditation:

“It is not the capabilities you now possess or ever will have that will give you success. It is that which the Lord can do for you. We need to have far less confidence in what man can do and far more confidence in what God can do for every believing soul. He longs to have you reach after Him by faith. He longs to have you expect great things from Him. . . . He can sharpen the intellect. He can give tact and skill. Put your talents into the work, ask God for wisdom, and it will be given you” (Christ’s Object Lessons p. 146)

What's in Your Hands: Loaves and Fishes


Speaker: Pastor Tara VinCross

Scripture: Mark 12:41-44

Meditation:

“He has bidden us, “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15. But how often our hearts sink, and faith fails us, as we see how great is the need, and how small the means in our hands. Like Andrew looking upon the five barley loaves and the two little fishes, we exclaim, “What are they among so many?” Often we hesitate, unwilling to give all that we have, fearing to spend and to be spent for others. But Jesus has bidden us, “Give ye them to eat.” His command is a promise; and behind it is the same power that fed the multitude beside the sea." – Desire of Ages, p. 369
