About this episode
This episode discusses the importance of giving from the heart as an act of worship rather than a transaction.
Awakening Church is preaching Giving God’s Way.📝 Notes: The story of Ananias and Sapphira reminds us that God is not after our money—He is after our hearts. Giving was never meant to be a transaction, a way to gain status, or something done out of compulsion. It is an act of worship.
