Rethink Generosity

This weekend and for the next four weeks there will be an emphasis, Rethink Generosity, Jesus was the most generous person who ever lived.  Knowing God, loving God, serving God, walking with Jesus in Generosity is one of the most important teachings of Biblical faith and one of the hardest to embrace;  often the last step, and a step some never take in their Christian life, is the jump off into sacrificial generosity.  We pray, go to church, try to help others, and do our best to be good, but generosity of self, money, and time can seem like a way of life for others;  people like Mother Teresa, the rich who seem to have money to spare,  those with more talent and time, someone else, the hope of living as Jesus did seems unreachable,  somehow we can leave one of the greatest gifts of Jesus, generosity, on the table.  A generous life is a full, happy life that connects to God, others, and life itself in a way that engages the very soul God has given us.  1.  knowing, loving, and serving God, as simple as these ideas sound are rooted as deep in God’s plan as the very cross that is the most generous act of all time.
