Untapping the Superpower of Generosity
Entering a season of giving - there’s a gap between what we

What does real generosity look like?

Do to others as you would have them do to you. (Matthew 7:12) - Golden Rule

Love one another as I have loved you. (John 15:12) - Platinum Rule

17 Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. 18 Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. 19 In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life. —1 Timothy 6:17-19

We can pursue comfort or we can pursue generosity, but only one of those things is real.
v. 19 - “Life that is really life…”


We become generous when we realize how much we’ve been given.


God didn’t give a gift. He gave the best gift.

What will we give? How will we unleash generosity in our community this Christmas?

How will you be generous, not just this Christmas, but with your life? How will you laugh at the illusion of comfort and use your superpowers to CHANGE THE WORLD?

You don’t need a cape. You have Jesus.
