WE WILL CHOOSE TO BE GENEROUS
Luke 10:30-37 (NLT) Jesus replied with a story: “A Jewish man was traveling from Jerusalem down to Jericho, and he was attacked by bandits. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him up, and left him half dead beside the road. 31 “By chance a priest came along. But when he saw the man lying there, he crossed to the other side of the road and passed him by. 32 A Temple assistant walked over and looked at him lying there, but he also passed by on the other side. 33 “Then a despised Samaritan came along, and when he saw the man, he felt compassion for him. 34 Going over to him, the Samaritan soothed his wounds with olive oil and wine and bandaged them. Then he put the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn, where he took care of him. 35 The next day he handed the innkeeper two silver coins, telling him, ‘Take care of this man. If his bill runs higher than this, I’ll pay you the next time I’m here.’ 36 “Now which of these three would you say was a neighbor to the man who was attacked by bandits?” Jesus asked. 37 The man replied, “The one who showed him mercy.” Then Jesus said, “Yes, now go and do the same.”

A GENEROUS GOSPEL SHOULD NEVER PRODUCE A SELFISH CHRISTIAN
GENEROSITY IS NOT A MOMENT – IT IS A MINDSET
JEALOUSY MINDSET: WHAT’S YOURS IS MINE AND I WILL TAKE IT – “BEAT HIM UP”
POVERTY MINDSET: WHAT’S MINE IS MINE AND I WILL KEEP IT – “PASS HIM UP”
GENEROUS MINDSET: WHAT’S MINE IS YOURS AND WE WILL SHARE IT – “PICK HIM UP”
Luke 6:38 (NLT) “Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back.”
