Text: I John 3:16-18
- Generosity is an aspect of character.
- Vibrant, healthy, growing, fruitful congregations practice extravagant generosity.
- Giving reflects the nature of our God.
- People that practice generosity understand that God has called them to go out into the community and make a difference in people’s lives.
- People that are generous givers give because they
- A. Love God
- B. Love the church
- C. Desire to grow in their love for other people
- How we use our material resources either honors or dishonors our relationship with God.
- “We buy things we don’t even need with money we don’t even have to impress people we don’t even know.”
- We can never early enough money to be happy when we believe that satisfaction, self-definition, and meaning derive from possessions.
