Blessed Easter! The weeks after Easter Sunday make up the season of Easter in the church. We will hear about how Jesus appeared to His disciples and the instructions He gave to them before His ascension into heaven. I pray that you will continue to focus on what Jesus is saying to you in this season, and will continue to follow in His footsteps.

Journal Entry #12 - DUE March 12th

In the Old Testament, God wanted believers to give one-tenth (10%) of what they had as an offering (a tithe). Sometimes people generously gave more!

Do our offerings always have to be money? What else could they be?
