Generosity Moment
What Does Biblical Generosity Look Like?
What Does Biblical Generosity Look Like?
Generosity is commonly associated with financial giving—
Such as a monthly tithe envelope or an automatic deduction from a bank account.
When we look at the generosity of the Bible, though, we see it goes deeper than just the amount of money we’re willing to donate.
We have said that two characteristics of true, Bible-centered Biblical Generosity is that...
Biblical generosity is tangible.
Biblical generosity is tangible.
Instead of speaking about money in Matthew 25, Jesus mentions food, water, clothes, and love.
Biblical generosity is cheerful.
Biblical generosity is cheerful.
In 2 Corinthians 9:7 gives us freedom in our generosity. God doesn’t want gifts motivated by a sense of duty or obligation. He wants us to give out of joy and compassion.
If anyone knows generosity, it is God—who gave His Son to us freely, even when He knew we would abuse the gift.
Our generosity should be founded in love, not duty.
Biblical generosity is also indiscriminate
Biblical generosity is also indiscriminate
Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10 shows us that the world is our neighbor.
People we don’t really like, people we disagree with, and people we’ve never met all fall into this category.
When we give indiscriminately, we have the opportunity to reflect God’s love to people who may not have felt it before—and that’s exactly what God has called us to do.
“Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.
This even applies to our life of generosity!

From the Old Test to the New Test we see that Jesus and the Holy Spirit were spoken to come and bring to us a New and Living Way.
WE NEED: THE NEW AND LIVING WAY
This Starts with Jesus...
And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus. By his death, Jesus opened a new and life-giving way through the curtain into the Most Holy Place. And since we have a great High Priest who rules over God’s house, let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water.
Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.
WE NEED: THE GIFT
Once when he was eating with them, he commanded them, “Do not leave Jerusalem until the Father sends you the gift he promised, as I told you before. John baptized with water, but in just a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
WE NEED: THE POWER TO WITNESS
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
WE NEED: PROPHESY AND VISIONS
‘In the last days,’ God says,
‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy.
Your young men will see visions,
and your old men will dream dreams.
In those days I will pour out my Spirit
even on my servants—men and women alike—
and they will prophesy.
Make it personal
Make it personal
WE NEED: FATHER’S TO FATHER
His preaching will turn the hearts of fathers to their children, and the hearts of children to their fathers. Otherwise I will come and strike the land with a curse.”
