Giving
Dare to Live Generously
Jesus gave His all, and we respond with our all.
"For God so loved the world that he gave His one and only Son..." (John 3:16)
God richly gives us Himself (Ephesians 2:7) and He asks that we richly give Him ourselves in response (Luke 12:21; 2 Corinthians 8:1-5).
We trust Him and He blesses abundantly.
When we trust God by giving Him our first and best, we discover that He will provide for us far more lavishly than we can provide for ourselves (Matthew 6:19-20; 1 Timothy 6:17-19).
