Lastest message Giving Sunday 2024 | Steve Morrison | 2 Corinthians 8:1–5

This Sunday we take a look at the ‘crazy’ Macedonians who were begging Paul to take part in the offering for the suffering Judeans. What produces generosity like that? What makes us want to give away our money? Paul writes that God loves a cheerful giver. Yet, God is not sadistic, demanding we look pleased when we suffer. Rather, we find a God who has given everything for us. He came poor that we might become rich. As we explore these gospel promises we realise God loves a cheerful giver not for His own sake but for ours. It is a sign that we have truly understood the breathtaking news that through His poverty we are made rich. When you know you already have everything, you’re free to give it all away.
