Living a generous life involves being aware of those around us, seizing opportunities to give, and experiencing the joy that comes from generosity, as opposed to seeking quick fixes or material gains.
If you were to do a google search for, “weight loss pill” you would get over 150 million results in under one second! Millions of websites make the promise of a better body by just taking a simple pill. Even more stunning is the fact we buy into it. Last year, over 33 billion dollars were spent on various weight loss products. At the same time, the FDA reports that 39.6 percent of Americans are overweight! Isn’t that crazy?

But, a generous life is about being generous in a variety of ways ... View this full sermon with PRO Premium
