Listen "Lavishness"
Episode Synopsis
Title: LavishnessScripture Reading: Ephesians 1:7-8Series: The “L” Fruits of JesusThe 1986 "Hands Across America" generosity event fell short, but how does God's abundant generosity prove that His plan for us is truly **lavish**? This sermon explores the concept of lavishness as an essential fruit of a follower of Jesus, illustrating the profound generosity of God through the metaphor of hands. True discipleship begins with The Receiving Hand, recognizing the immense, abundant grace, mercy, and forgiveness God has lavished upon us through Christ. This received forgiveness establishes a necessary pattern for us to follow. We are called to extend the same mercy to others through The Forgiving Hand, remembering that forgiven people must forgive people, thereby reversing the curse of cyclical revenge. Finally, we express lavishness through The Giving Hand, sharing our finances, resources, and time, confident that if God cares for the birds and lilies, He will supply all our needs, allowing us to live the abundant life Jesus promised.
