    Generosity is an important aspect of Christianity. This sermon explores not only why we should be generous but also how we can be generous Christians.

    When it comes to generosity, who are the first people that come to mind? Does the church come to mind? Is the church the first thing you think of when you think of generosity?

    The example of the Macedonian our Corinthian churches give us tremendous advice on the sensitive subject of tithing for NT believers today! Advice that is easy to understand requiring very little interpretation!

    So much is said about tithing and yet it is probably the most difficult subject for me to speak on. I think it would be actually easier if the church was wealthy. Why is this such a sensitive subject? Or maybe its me, but why is it so hard to preach on? What about to you? Think about it for a ...read more

    Contributed by Wade Leonard on Dec 4, 2007

    Does God care about how we give as a group? Shouldn’t giving focus on what I give? After all, it’s up to me as to what I decide to give and how to give it, right? But does the Bible ever address “group giving?”
