XSI 2026 God's Generous Provision
In Psalm 23:5, David says, "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies... My cup overflows." God's gifts are lavishly abundant and undeserved. The paramount example of this is the gift of salvation in Jesus Christ, but his generosity doesn't stop there. He is recklessly extravagant in his generosity. He gives us his Holy Spirit, he gives us tools and resources to follow him faithfully (means of growth), and he richly supplies us with all things to enjoy. At this conference, we will delve into the gifts that God has so generously given His children.
