Developing a Heart for the Poor
Matt Brown • •
What motivates us to give—attention or genuine compassion? In this week’s message, Pastor Matthew Stephen Brown helps us look inward and rethink our mindset around generosity. Giving isn’t just about money—it’s about heart, humility, and helping others without expecting anything in return. Whether you’re new to faith or just curious about how to live more intentionally, this conversation invites all of us to consider what it means to give quietly, meaningfully, and with purpose. Discover how small, private acts of kindness can bring big impact—both to others and to your own sense of peace and purpose.
WHAT YOU CAN DO THIS WEEK
What is your attitude about giving to and through the church? What motivates you to give or not give? Who or what has influenced your perspective on giving? As you reflect on Matthew 6:1-4 and this sermon, ask God to help you understand His attitude on generosity, especially toward the poor. How have Jesus’ teachings and this message encouraged or challenged your ideas about generosity and giving? Thank God for the ways He has provided for your needs, then invite Him to help you on your personal giving journey. Identify some ways you’d like to grow in giving both to and through the church. As you consider growing as a giver, we invite you to learn more about Pastor Matt and Tammy Brown’s vision to love, serve and give, in partnership with Convoy of Hope, through the Sandals Church 520 Campaign: sandalschurch.com/520Campaign.
