Message: “Generosity” from Brian Richardson

It's easy to discuss generosity in terms of money, thinking of it as only what we "give." But while giving is an important expression of generosity, a much broader understanding of what it means to be generous involves sharing all that we are and all that we have. Discipleship requires us to be generous with our service, talents and gifts, resources, assets, and money... but also our with our story--our witness--and with the Gospel of hope. Giving might be what we do, but generous is who we are. We are filled up to be poured out!

Scripture: Acts 20:35, 2 Corinthians 9:6-7, 2 Corinthians 9:11, 1 Timothy 6:18, Matthew 16:24, 1 Kings 17:14-15, Luke 21:1-4, Luke 19:8, Matthew 27:59-60, Proverbs 21:26

From Series: "This is Us"

We are part of a generational story with chapters exuding love and heartbreak, joy and disappointment, failures and victories. Yet each chapter ends with the hope we find in Jesus. As our family tree continues to grow, we remind ourselves of our roots, celebrating yesterday’s stories, lessons learned, and lives changed. Strong roots enable us to reach higher, farther, toward the Son…ensuring there are countless chapters yet to be written. Even the smallest life events and faith decisions profoundly shape us, and when woven together tell God’s story. This series will explore the values that compel us to live out the hope we find in God’s grace. We are The Well Church of the Nazarene. This Is Us…
