Say YES! The Power of Generosity

When the world around you is constantly saying no, maybe it’s time to say yes. Open your heart to giving and see what saying yes will change in you and the world. In this Sermon Series, we explore how scripture speaks about generosity, including how followers of Jesus are to practice generosity. By practicing generosity, followers of Jesus learn what generosity is and what it does for us when we say, YES!

Verse 5 of 2 Corinthians 9 says “So I thought I should send these brothers ahead of me to make sure the gift you promised is ready. But I want it to be a willing gift, not one given grudgingly.” When Jesus talks about generosity, it isn’t something he wants from his followers but rather something he wants for them. Jesus knows that generosity leads to joy and a more fulfilled life.  As the letter writer Paul puts it, “I want it to be a willing gift from you” because generosity is a choice for us make.
