Living Generously in a World of Scarcity Part 5:

Gleaning - Showing creativity in our generosity

Leviticus 19:9–10; Ruth 2:1–17

Definition: Gleaning is intentionally operating inefficiently for the benefit of others.

1. Gleaning flows from who God is.
2. Gleaning requires something different from each person.
3. Gleaning called for public accountability.

Challenge: How can you use creativity to bring joy to your generosity?

Take Action:

1. What is the Spirit prompting you to do as a result of hearing this message today?
2. What is one area of your life where you are like Boaz and have access to abundance that you can share?
3. What is one area of your life where you are like Ruth and need to be willing to receive and to cultivate?
4. Do you have accountability (outside of a spouse) with your finances and resources? What could that look like in your life?
5. How will you be creative in your generosity?
