Making Change - Giving is Good

It's possible to make real change in our lives by using the change in our pockets. Jesus taught that it is better to give than to receive, but how could that really be true? This week we look at the power of generosity and how it points directly to God's heart toward humanity when He GAVE His only Son out of love.

Making Change - Stress is Bad
