What is God looking for from you when it comes to being generous? Join Chip as he explores the answer to that question in this message from his series "The Genius of Generosity."

Breakthrough Concept #4: God does not measure generosity by the size of our gift, but by the size of our sacrifice.

The Christmas Story: A graduate course in generosity

  • The Magi -Mt. 2:11 - Your Money
  • The Shepherds -Lk. 2:15-17 - Your Time
  • Joseph -Mt. 1:18-24 - Your Reputation
  • Mary -Lk. 1:26-38 - Your Future
  • Jesus -Mk 10:45 - Your Life
  • The Father -Jn 3:16 - Your Most Precious Possession

Three observations:

  1. Generosity is not so much a virtuous act, as it is a virtuous RESPONSE.
  2. God does not measure generosity by the size of our gift, but by the size of our SACRIFICE.
  3. Increasing levels of generosity bring increasing levels of REWARD / BLESSING.

Generosity is to love as thunder is to lightning: Luke 6:38
