E4 Kingdom Generosity

The Acts 2 Church was part of a powerfully unified community connected by shared values and purpose. The culture was so countercultural that people were drawn into their community. You see, if the culture isn’t right, nothing else really matters, and that’s because culture always wins!   If you have a great culture, your church will thrive. A great culture enables you to do great things!   In our current series: Our Tribe - we will clarify what Living Stones is all about! We will talk about the 7 things we value here, and how these values shape what we do! Our culture must be incarnated!   Today we talk about our 7th value: Kingdom Generosity!   Our English word generous comes from an old French word meaning “of noble birth.”   This is the reason for our generosity – we come from noble birth. We are children of the King! And we want to be like our Dad!   My generous LIFE magnifies the work of God’s generous GRACE in me!    “In a word, what I’m saying is, Grow up. You’re kingdom subjects. Now live like it. Live out your God-created identity. Live generously and graciously toward others, the way God lives toward you.” - Matthew 5:48 MSG
