Joy is not found in circumstances, possessions, or comfort. Joy is found in supporting the mission of God. 🙌

In this message concluding our Giving > Receiving series, we look at Philippians 4 and discover why generosity is such a powerful source of joy in the life of a believer. Writing from a prison cell, the Apostle Paul thanks the church at Philippi for their faithful support and reminds them that giving to God’s work is never wasted.

This message walks through four reasons Scripture shows us that joy is found in giving to the mission of God:

• Giving is commended and pleases God 🤍

• Giving is an eternal investment ⏳

• Giving is rewarded by God 🙏

• Giving spreads the Gospel to people far from Him 🌍

The church at Philippi modeled sacrificial generosity, partnering with Paul for years so the Gospel could go further than they ever could themselves. Their giving reached even into Caesar’s household, proving that generosity fuels Gospel impact.

When we give, we are not simply meeting needs. We are partnering in God’s mission, storing up eternal fruit, and helping others experience the grace of Jesus that has changed our own lives.

Giving / Receiving | The Heart of Giving

In this message, we continue our Giving / Receiving series by focusing on the heart behind our giving. Scripture reminds us that generosity is not about the amount we give, but the heart in which we give. God does not need our money - He wants our hearts.

Jesus illustrates this truth through the widow who gave two small coins, showing that sacrificial, faith-filled giving matters more than impressive amounts. The Apostle Paul builds on this in 2 Corinthians 9, teaching that cheerful giving flows from a heart transformed by the Gospel, not from obligation or pressure.

This message explores:

-Why giving is a heart issue, not a numbers issue

-What it means to be a cheerful giver

-The spiritual principle of sowing and reaping

-Why generosity is something God wants for us, not from us

-How we can trust God to supply as we give faithfully

When we give with joy and faith, God produces far more in our lives than money alone could ever provide. The truth remains - you cannot out-give God.

📌 Series: Giving / Receiving

Giving>Receiving is a series that explores what Scripture really says about money - not as a source of guilt or pressure, but as a reflection of the heart.

Through Paul’s teaching to the church at Corinth, this series reveals God’s desire for His people to be generous, disciplined, and gracious with what He has entrusted to them. Giving is more than an action - it is a mindset shaped by the gospel. God doesn’t need our money; He wants our hearts.

You’ll discover the difference between giving and generosity, why intentional and disciplined giving matters, how tithing serves as a baseline of faith, and why Christian giving is an act of grace rather than obligation.

Ultimately, this series challenges believers to ask an honest question - if your money could talk, what would it say about your heart? Learn how aligning your finances with your faith leads to freedom and deeper trust in God.
