Jesus made some pretty shocking statements during His life and ministry, including this: people who want to find true life must first lose their life. In other words, gaining the world is meaningless if you lose your soul too – and your soul is found when you surrender your whole life to Jesus. One way […]

John 14:23-29

from Matthew 7:1-6 Jesus' teaching in Matthew 5-7, we know as The Sermon on the Mount…but it is so much more than just a collection of wisdom and challenge and instruction from Jesus. It is at the heart of it, an invitation from Jesus to consider that there is another way, that there is a better way.

SUNDAY SERMON SERIES – FIRST THINGS FIRST - Week 5 - DEVOTED TO LIVING GENEROUSLY

.

Generous living doesn't just bless the person on the receiving end, it blesses the giver too!

Matthew 6:19-21

Pastor Rob Miller

The first sermon in a new series Freely Received, Freely Give

In this episode, we are reminded that those who are generous always seem to have enough!

.

The niceties of life have a way of making us insensitive to more important things. The parable of the rich man and Lazarus has less to do with whether or not we're rich, than with whether or not we're doing what we can for those in need. Homily for the 26th Sunday of Ordinary Time.

This sermon explores the biblical call to generosity and hospitality as central aspects of Christian living. Pastor Shawn Alexander emphasizes that how believers handle their possessions and open their homes is a barometer of their trust in God and their treasuring of Christ. Drawing from various New Testament passages, the sermon challenges listeners to overcome obstacles like fear and greed, and to embrace a lifestyle of giving and welcoming others as a response to God's lavish mercy and generosity shown through Christ.

Leviticus 18:1-2, 19:9-10 - And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, I am the Lord your God.” … “When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap your field right up to its edge, neither shall you gather the gleanings after your harvest. And you shall not strip your vineyard bare, neither shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard. You shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am the Lord your God.”

Jesus, help me to live with a generous heart. Keywords: Generosity; resources; cheerful heart; willingness; partnering.Scripture: 2 Corinthians 9:7

Series: Living By Faith: Daily Spiritual Rhythms Title: Living Generously Passage: Psalm 37:3-5, 23-29 Date: 6.8.25 Message By: David Adams

We serve a loving God who not only wants to be generous to us, but desires to be generous through us! Join us this morning to learn how!

Katie Deetjen, serving on staff as Generosity Consultant, joins Taylor C. and Overseer, Bob Walker to discuss Jesus' call to live generously with our finances.

Pastor Jose speaks to how God wants us to live generously!

There was a time when phrases like "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" and "It is better to give than to receive" were widely understood, regardless of faith. Both, rooted in the teachings of Jesus, emphasized generosity—a principle we've lost sight of in today's pursuit of happiness. Proverbs 11:24-25 reminds us that true happiness isn't found in holding on to what we have but in giving freely to others, with generosity enriching both the giver and the receiver. In this message, Pastor Dave Dummitt explores how embracing a generous spirit can transform relationships and communities, leading to lasting happiness.

What if your giving could be both spiritually fulfilling and financially strategic? In this episode, we will explore how to live generously through donor-advised funds, real estate donations, anonymous gifts, and multi-generational planning—all while keeping the heart of stewardship at the center. They challenge the idea that generosity is only about money and show how it can be a lifestyle rooted in purpose. Whether you're a seasoned giver or just getting started, this episode will shift how you think about wealth, impact, and legacy. Listen in to discover smarter ways to give and why it matters now more than ever. Key Takeaways To Listen ForThe difference between charitable giving and charitable livingA simple way to check if your giving is from the heartWhy true generosity isn't about hitting a number, it's about fulfilling a callingHow to give and receive up to 100% back in your stateWhy the best time to create a giving plan is July, not December Resources Mentioned In This EpisodeThriventHome Sweet HomeAbout Adam HautlyAdam Hautly's passion for finance started early at just eight years old, he was captivated by interest rate tables and knew numbers would play a major role in his future.

What does it mean to live generously? In this episode of Buddhism for Everyone, we explore the subtle ways we can practice abandoning stealing—not just materially, but in the countless small ways we might take without realizing it, like stealing time, being late, or complaining. Living generously is about cultivating a mindset of abundance and integrity. In daily practice, it means transforming our actions into gifts of kindness, consideration, and fairness. Small, mindful shifts can make a big impact on the way we live and interact with the world. Through Buddha's teachings, stories, and practical tips, we'll uncover how letting go of taking leads to greater peace and joy in our lives.  Him I call a Brahmana, who, in this world takes nothing that is not given him, be it long or short, big or small, good or bad. Whoever in this world Takes nothing not given, Whether it is long or short, Large or small, Beautiful or not, I call a brahmin.
