A sermon on reclaiming generosity in times of economic hardship. The speaker argues that fear of inflation and job loss drives people to hoard money, but biblical generosity works differently: God promises to add to those who give, creating a harvest that sustains continual giving.
I pray that this generation recaptures a revelation of generosity, because we live in a time of economic trouble. Things are very stagnant. People are struggling. There's a lot of talk of inflation and job loss and financial ruin and currency devaluation. We can go on and on about all of the economic woes. And so what happens is people begin to develop fear in regards to their mindset of money, and that fear causes them to grip, to hold, to not because they're holding it in fear. Now, I'm not saying you shouldn't ever save money or that it's bad to invest, or that it's possible that there aren't even times that you should withhold when someone asks of you. There are times when maybe giving money to someone isn't the best solution. But having said all that, we do also have to develop a mindset of extravagant generosity. And this, as I said, is something I believe the church needs to recapture, that as you learn this biblical principle of generosity, That God will add to you What's the purpose of this? Not just for you, but to produce a harvest of generosity in you so that you can always be generous. And I know you wanna get there, but it begins by giving. You must first become a giver.
