Yes to Generous
from Catalyst Church · host Matt Van Peursem | Lead Pastor
True generosity isn't about spontaneous giving or random acts of kindness - it's the premeditated, calculated, and designated release of financial assets. Most people believe they're generous, but without a detailed plan, we're either consumers focused on ourselves or emotional givers. The Bible teaches us to live as managers, not owners, of God's resources. There are only five things you can do with money: spend, repay debt, pay taxes, save, or give. The Gospel calls us to flip our priorities - putting others first through intentional giving, then saving, paying obligations, and living on what remains.
