For our final week of INCREASE, our theme is generosity. This song quickly came to mind for this theme. It is a declaration of giving every part of ourselves and all that we have to God, to be used for His purposes. It is a modern remake of the hymn “Take My Life and Let It Be”. You can listen to this song by Chris Tomlin here.

For our theme of joy during this second week of INCREASE, here is a song called “Joy Is In This Place” by Tim Hughes.
