The First Day of the Week Part 3 (John 20:11-16)
April 2, 2021
A guided time with God through prayer and reflection on Scripture. This is the third of three reflective shorts focused on John chapter 20, the chapter of resurrection. "On the first day of the week, while it was still dark..." These words are filled with meaning and richness, specifically for those who are emerging from a season of difficulty. Enter into the pain and joy of Mary Magdalene as she approaches the tomb, collapses in grief, then meets the gardener, a prophetic mistake. Take the pause needed to hear Him speak your name.

The word "tithe" literally means “tenth" or 10%. Tithing, or giving ten percent of your income, isn't merely giving something to God. It's giving back what was his to begin with. All that we have, or hope to have, comes from him. The Bible says that tithing is a reminder that God is the supplier of everything. It teaches us to always put God first in our lives.
Financial FreedomExplore resources that can help you grow into the money-manager that God wants you to be. Designed to encourage you in your next stewardship steps, we offer financial classes, free seminars, and individual coaching. We address topics like budgeting, saving, debt, investing, giving, estate planning, relating about money, and other financial topics.
Life is not meant to be lived alone. In fact, God hates loneliness. You were created to experience life with other people, and that's why at Saddleback, we encourage you to get into a small group. A small group is a group of three or more people who gather each week in a home, workplace, or online. In a group you'll hang out, study the Word, and pray together. No matter where you are in life, there's a group for you.
