On Sunday 19th April Chris started a new mini-series called a Generous Life, looking at the discipline of giving. What does it look like to live a truly generous life? In this message, we explore how everything starts with God’s generosity—His nature, His provision, and His greatest gift: Jesus. Looking at 1 Chronicles 29, we unpack how our giving isn’t about pressure or obligation, but a joyful response to a generous God. Generosity shapes worship, builds family, and fuels the mission of the church. Whether you’re new to faith or have been around church for years, this talk invites you to reflect, respond, and step into a life of open-handed generosity.

Chris continues our series in Isaiah, looking at chapter 5. We hear about the vineyard imagery of the chapter and how this imagery is echoed in Jesus' teachings. We also go through the six woes that Isaiah describes and the hope that can be found in this passage despite these. _________________________________________ Key Question What kind of fruit is the vineyard of your life producing now? Fruit is the visible evidence of what it is we’re trusting and remaining in. 1. Fruit in our character (who we’re becoming) Fruit is not first what you do, but who you’re becoming. Examples: • Are you becoming more patient or more irritable? • More humble or more defensive? • More teachable or more cynical? • More grateful or more entitled? • If God is the Holy one – what 1 thing might you change 2. Fruit in our relationships (how we treat people) Isaiah’s vineyard failed because it produced bloodshed instead of justice. So fruit shows up in how we love others. Examples: • How you speak to your spouse, children, housemates, or colleagues • Whether your presence brings peace or tension • Whether you move toward forgiveness or bitterness 3. Fruit in our habits and desires (what we run after) Isaiah 5 exposes what the people loved and pursued. Examples: • What you reach for when you’re stressed, tired, or bored • How you use your evenings, weekends, and money • Whether you’re increasingly shaped by Scripture and prayer, or by distraction and excess 4. Fruit in our obedience (what our faith produces) Not perfection—but direction and Faithful obedience. Examples: • A growing willingness to repent quickly • A softer heart to God’s correction • A desire to obey even when it costs • Do I hide my sin, or do respond in repentance and faith – being grateful for God’s grace, not abusive of it. 5. Fruit in our witness and influence (what our lives point to) Israel was meant to be a vineyard for the nations. Examples: • Do people see something of God’s goodness through your life? • Does your faith overflow into generosity, hospitality and other areas of life • Through you, are others drawn closer to Christ, or pushed further away? Fruit is the visible evidence of what it is we’re trusting and remaining in. If Christ is our vine, grace produces life. so we’re called to remain in him. If something else is our vine, the fruit will eventually show and it will stink! — Chris Kimbangi Leadership Team _________________________________________ Throughout the book of Isaiah the recurring question keeps appearing over and over again – whom shall you trust?
