Jesus said that we’re not blessed when we get, but when we give. This Sunday we’re talking about generosity: of our time, our talent, our treasure.
We'll see how giving reflects God’s heart, builds our faith, and straight up blesses people. Choosing generosity isn’t about ROI, but a shift of the heart and mind. It's a choice to trust God and join Him in blessing those who can’t pay us back.
If you’ve been stuck in scarcity thinking, this message will help you breathe again. You’ll find freedom in learning to give generously. You'll discover the irrational joy found in open-handed living.
