Guest speaker Levi Lusko taught from the parable of the Good Samaritan, showing love always gives—you can give without loving, but you can't love without giving. As Jesus People, our financial lives reveal the true state of our hearts. The gospel naturally produces generosity in those who've received it, and God's real aim is keeping idols out of our hearts.
Levi Lusko is the pastor of Fresh Life Church, a multisite church with locations in four states and online. He is the author of several books, including Through the Eyes of a Lion, Blessed Are the Spiraling, and his recent book for tweens, Don’t Worry, Warrior! He and his wife, Jennie, cohost their podcast, Hey! It’s the Luskos. Levi and Jennie have one son, Lennox, and four daughters: Alivia, Daisy, Clover, and Lenya, who is in heaven.

Generosity is a signal of God's grace at work in our hearts. In this message from 2 Corinthians, Pastor Skip Heitzig focuses on how the Macedonian churches gave beyond their ability despite deep poverty and affliction. When we experience God's generosity, we give freely out of the grace He’s shown us and recognize it is more blessed to give than to receive.
Job once walked closely with the Lord, and his life overflowed with blessing. But when all of that was one, Job asked a simple question: “Why?” This message from Pastor Skip Heitzig offers a gentle reminder that suffering isn’t always punishment.
