2 Corinthians 8:1–15; 9:6–11 • Ephesians 2:8–10 • Luke 19:8–10

True generosity doesn’t begin with guilt—it begins with grace.

In this message, Pastor Jimmy reminds us that generosity is the overflow of God’s unmerited favor. When we recognize that everything—our breath, our gifts, our resources—comes from Him, giving becomes joy, not pressure.

From 2 Corinthians 8–9, we see the Macedonian believers give joyfully amid poverty because they first gave themselves to the Lord. Grace came down—and generosity flowed out.

In this message, you’ll discover:
- Why generosity begins with understanding grace, not obligation
- How “common grace” and “saving grace” shape our view of giving
- The difference between mercy and grace—and why both matter
- Why cheerful giving reveals the heart of Christ in us
- How to give wisely, freely, and joyfully within your means
