“The Generosity Factor”

Amy Carmichael, who served as a missionary to India for 55 years without furlough, once wrote, “You can always give without loving, but you can never love without giving.”

This Sunday we’re going to talk about generosity and the call that is on every believer to live generously. As you begin to pray for Sunday’s gathering, allow the following passages of Scripture to inform your intercession: John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 2 Corinthians 8:9—“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.” Matthew 10:8—“Freely you have received, freely give.” Proverbs 11:24-25 One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want. Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered. See you on Sunday, pastor jamie
