Generosity is our Priviledge

In our first week, we explored how "Jesus is Our Pursuit," emphasizing that everything we do centers on Him—our songs, messages, and priorities. Last week, we shifted to our value of "People are Our Passion," focusing on how we prioritize individuals over programs and strive to see Jesus transform lives through our love and commitment. This week, we discussed our third cultural value: "Generosity is Our Privilege." Ultimately, our call to generosity is rooted in the gospel—the ultimate act of sacrificial love. Just as Christ gave Himself for us, we are invited to reflect His generosity in our lives. God demonstrated this when He gave His only Son, Jesus. John 3:16 tells us, “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Despite the magnitude of this sacrifice, God gave willingly and cheerfully, looking through the lens of eternity at the incredible outcome of sending His Son Jesus. God didn’t just tell us how to give—He showed us. He gave His first and best—proportionally, sacrificially, and cheerfully. As we strive to be a generous church, we not only impact our community but also live out the love of Christ, making His grace visible to the world. At our church, we aspire for generosity to be our privilege, reflecting a heart committed to giving joyfully, sacrificially, and as a priority. Our vision is for a community where needs are met both within our congregation and in the broader community. Generosity should permeate every aspect of church life—from warmly welcoming newcomers to robustly supporting missions and outreach.
