Generosity | Living Generously
Shared on: Aug 15, 2024
Talking about giving of any kind, especially in regards to money, is tricky. Gain courage as you glean from Biblical teaching and creative ways leaders have communicated the joy of living generously. This bundle will primarily focus on financial giving, but will also have thoughts on God's generosity, forgiving generously, and more. Challenge people to encounter God in fresh and powerful ways as they step out and live generously.
