SERMON
2 Corinthians 8:1-9

You don't need a surplus of money to have a wealth of generosity.

Giving isn't about what's leaving, it's about what you're joining
-Koinonia: fellowship, participation, shared life

Generosity: being unselfish and willing to give time, money, or kindness to others freely and without expecting anything back.

Jesus didn't just teach generosity; Jesus embodied it
-We can give freely because Jesus gave himself fully

We don't give to get a blessing; we give to share the blessing

What has God placed in your hands, and who is God asking you to bless?
