The most amazing act of generosity was God sending his Son, Jesus, so that we might live through him (1 John 4:9). One way that Christians respond to God’s generosity is to live generously themselves. To give sacrificially of their time, their energy, and their money to honor God and to serve others.
On Sunday, March 9, we took some time during our worship services to share about a few resources we’re offering this year to help us all grow in our practice of generosity. For example: Jesus taught a lot about how we use and view our money. In early September, we’ll have a short sermon series in which we’ll wrestle with Jesus’ teachings about greed, generosity, and grace.
Also, at the end of April, we’ll begin our “Essentials of Financial Wholeness” class. This class is for anyone seeking some practical guidance around principles of stewardship from a biblical perspective. For more info and to register for that class, see below.
In hope,
Pastor Bijan
