THE LOST ART OF GENEROSITY

Few of Jesus’ teachings are more radical, counterintuitive, and disorienting to our cultural assumptions than what Jesus has to say about money and generosity. We hear constantly the Western formula of “more money = more happiness.” But Jesus boldly claims that happiness is found not in the accumulation of wealth, but in a deeply relational life of giving and love.

We could not be more excited for you to go on this five-session journey of generosity. From a distance, generosity can sound like a “hard” practice; and it is, at first. But it quickly becomes one of the most joyful of all the practices of Jesus.

Our prayer for the coming weeks is this: that you begin to discover the great joy Jesus is referring to — not just the good feelings that come from practicing generosity, but ultimately, the joy that comes from participating in the inner life of God himself — the most generous being in all the universe.

“There is more happiness in giving than in receiving.” —Acts 20:35
