Open Wallets
Rev. Dr. Jonathan Smith
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?
