Living Generously in a World of Scarcity

“Overflowing Generosity: A Witness to the World”

2 Corinthians 8:1-7, Acts 4:32-37

1. Giving flows organically from a life infused with grace.
2. Don’t let financial challenges stop you from experiencing joy in giving and bearing witness to God’s grace.
3. Sharing in faith and willingly helping others in times of need is an inspiring act of love.
4. True giving stems from a heart surrendered to God and driven by love for others.
5. Giving is crucial to our spiritual life and serves as a powerful aspect of our testimony.

Take Action!

2 Corinthians 8 and 9, James 1:2, Romans 12:1-2

1. What is the Spirit prompting you to do because of hearing this message today?
2. What prevents people from giving a fair portion of their money to the Lord for His work? Is this a difficulty for you?
3. How does the example of the Macedonian church challenge those who have little money to give? How might that challenge be different for those with an abundance?
4. Instead of asking, “how much of my money should I give to God’s work?” consider asking, “how much of God’s money do I need to live on?” This shift in perspective encourages viewing money as entrusted by God for a greater purpose.
5. In what ways besides giving money can you be generous to others as a witness to Christ this week?
6. Who do you need to share this message with this week?
