About this sermon

We have everything backwards when it comes to "re-gifting". Sure, it sounds like good stewardship to repurpose a gift we've never used, by rewrapping it and giving it to someone else. But this practice is just passing along something we never wanted in the first place. God sees re-gifting as the ultimate blessing- sharing the reason for our joy with someone who has none.
