Welcome to the weekend, and welcome to the Saturday 7.
Sometimes God’s greatest work starts as an interruption. Like Mary and Joseph in response to an angel’s message, we can learn to welcome divine disruptions. By surrendering our plans, we can make room for something miraculous if we open ourselves to God’s unexpected ways and trust them to be his profound invitation to inexplicable joy.
During this season of loving and giving, you may find it hard to extend God’s love if you haven’t fully received it. Using the well-known statements of the apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 13, Max Lucado offers a way to be filled with God’s love, so we can give it away freely.
Since 2020, Millennial wealth has tripled and will soon exceed that of Baby Boomers. Yet, many advisors are unfamiliar with the distinct giving patterns of the next generation. We invite you to join us at Redeeming Money 2025. During the NCF showcase session, we’ll empower advisors with insights from our new research on Millennial stewardship habits and offer practical strategies for effectively guiding multi-generational family giving.
While you contemplate the greatest gift ever given by our most generous God, may these songs guide your praise as you honor Jesus for leaving the glory he had in heaven to become our Immanuel on earth.
Saturday 7 is brought to you by our team at the National Christian Foundation (NCF). We would love to help you create your Giving Strategy™, so you can experience more joy and adventure as you pursue a life of generosity. Find an NCF location near you at ncfgiving.com/locations.
