When you think of the character of God, what characteristics first come to mind and would generosity top the list? But in fact, from the first pages of Genesis, God describes himself as generous. He gives human beings everything they need to flourish. His generosity continues to overflow and culminates in the gift of His beloved son.

Jesus spoke often about our relationship to money because He observed it’s power over the human heart. The practice of generosity is so much more about giving a specific percentage to the church. The regular practice of living generously is what frees us from the tyranny that money holds over our lives.

We’ll be using the resources from Practicing the Way. They have divided up the practice of Generosity into four sessions based on Jesus’ most famous teachings on money.

01 There is more joy in giving than in receiving

02 Watch Out for Greed!

03 All We Have Belongs to God

04 Be Generous to the Poor

This companion guide includes notes from the teaching and exercises for you to begin integrating generosity into your daily life.

We’ll be using the teaching videos and other resources from Practicing the Way for this four-week series.

Our growth groups will be meeting during their regular times on Tuesday evening, Thursday morning and evening to join the discussion as we make sense of the complexity of trusting God with our finances and embody his heart of generosity. We’ll be engaging with the conversation on the Rule of Life podcast that accompany this series.

The following stories are from real people and the joy and freedom they have experienced through the practice of generosity.

Growth Groups are meeting through Zoom and in-person.
