Generous Hearts
In the first week of “The Giving Church” Pastor Steven Taylor focuses on God’s abundant generosity and how we, as His people, are called to reflect that generosity in every aspect of our lives. Ephesians 3:20-21 reminds us that God is able to do immeasurably more than we could ever ask or imagine, and as His masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10), our purpose is to glorify Him by faithfully stewarding the gifts He has entrusted to us (2 Corinthians 4:1-2). True generosity is not just about money but about living with open hearts, going the extra mile, and giving without expectation (Matthew 5:38-42). Jesus calls us to love even our enemies and take initiative in serving others (Luke 6:31, Matthew 5:43-48). Though perfection may seem impossible, God transforms us from the inside out, making us new through Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17, Ezekiel 36:26). As Philippians 2:13 assures us, God works within us to align our hearts with His, so that generosity flows naturally—not just from our hands, but from the heart.
