Understanding What Jesus Taught About Generosity
Matt Brown • • Week 5
Consider this: God doesn't care about your money. With infinite resources at His disposal, God has no need for anyone's finances. However, by giving faithfully to God and His church, you are making a statement of your priorities. In Luke 21:1-4, Jesus encounters a poor widow placing two very small copper coins in the temple as an offering. He's amazed by her generosity, because she gave faithfully with the little she had, rather than out of abundance. This teaches us that it's not about the amount, it's about the heart behind it. It's on us to be faithful, and God will handle the rest. Take some time to reflect on this idea as you check out Pastor Matt's message on generosity.
WHAT YOU CAN DO THIS WEEK
Think about your generosity to God and His work through Sandals. Recall some instances in which you experienced the truth that you are blessed more by giving than by receiving. What feelings and thoughts surface? Ask God to reveal any areas where you might be generous outwardly, but bankrupt in your heart inwardly. Ask Him to give you—in increasing measure—a heart of full generosity toward God and others.
