Generous Discipleship (2 Corinthians 8.1-5)

Vijay begins a 2-part series on the importance of financial generosity to our discipleship. In this sermon he notes the great model of generosity the Macedonian churches provide for us. Their example teaches us that ultimately the radical generosity God calls us to is only possible when we are enabled by God. Such generosity is not dependent on the size of our bank balance but the size of our God. When we exercise such radical generosity, we not only bless others but find ourselves blessed and enriched for giving. It is by surrendering ourselves completely to God that we tap into the strength of God that enables financial generosity.
