Generous Grace Part 1: First Things First (2 Corinthians 8:1-6)

First things first: God is for us before He ever asks anything from us. Generosity begins, not with how generous we are, but how graciously generous God is toward us in Christ. When we receive His grace, and we see ourselves and others through the vision He gives, we are well-equipped to overflow with daring generosity. As we learn from the example of the Macedonian church, we, like the Corinthians to whom Paul is writing, are challenged: "Let this same grace find completion in you."
