Joy in Generosity: How Does God Give?

Text: 2 Corinthians 9:6-15

Throughout this series, we have asked several questions as a means of self-examination in the area of generosity. Each of these questions has been centered around us - how we steward our time, talents, and treasures. Today’s question is all about God, “How does God give?” One of the primary reasons that so few people give generously to the work of the Lord is because either they do not know the Lord, or they are not walking close enough to know His heart in giving. Today, you can know Him, His heart for generosity, and what He promises to give to those who honor Him. We invite you to listen today.

Joy in Generosity: How Do You Give?

Text: 2 Corinthians 8:1-15

In this sermon we learn that giving is an act of grace. God’s grace experienced in our hearts opens our hands, enabling us to extend that grace to others through generosity. Jesus generously gave His life for the glory of God the Father and for the good of others. If we desire to be like Christ, we will be faithful to do the same. We invite you to listen today and examine yourself, “How do you give?”

Joy in Generosity: Who Do You Trust?

Text: Malachi 3:7-12

Most Christians understand God's calling for us to live a life of generosity. He has given us ample information and instructions to carry out this mission. However, that does not mean that we are all living a life of generosity. There are many practical reasons and logical explanations that we can give to explain this problem, but God shows us in His Word that it really comes down to one key thing - trust. Are we willing to trust God or not? If you would like to grow in generosity and increase your trust in the Lord, we invite you to listen to this message to be encouraged and challenged today.

Joy in Generosity: What Do You Seek?

Text: Luke 12:22-34

We are all seeking something in this world, and the world gives us no shortage of options. Some seek fame, a good name, wealth, position, possessions, power, and influence – just to name a few. God, though, shows us that the key to living a life that matters for eternity is to seek one key thing first. This great priority will impact every aspect of how we live and how we give. We invite you to listen today to discover this key priority and to decide that you will seek the one thing that truly matters.
