Part of We are the Church!
February 26, 2023

2 Corinthians 8:2-5 (NLT) 2They are being tested by many troubles, and they are very poor. But they are also filled with abundant joy, which has overflowed in rich generosity. 3For I can testify that they gave not only what they could afford, but far more. And they did it of their own free will. 4They begged us again and again for the privilege of sharing in the gift for the believers in Jerusalem. 5They even did more than we had hoped, for their first action was to give themselves to the Lord and to us, just as God wanted them to do.

Proverbs 11:24 (MSG) The world of the generous gets larger and larger; the world of the stingy gets smaller and smaller.

Isaisah 32:8 (NLT) But generous people plan to do what is generous, and they stand firm in their generosity.

Generosity isn’t for us to feel like we are doing something important. It is
