Listen "Shaped by Generosity: Taste & See"
Episode Synopsis
More than enough or barely enough? Which one are you? Which describes your home?Last week I asked you to get with someone you trust and with them ask this question of yourself: “To what level do I functionally believe that everything I have is a gift from God?” Don’t let that conversation be theoretical or vague. Look at your actual behaviors and thought patterns. If you have not done this, consider taking a few minutes today or tomorrow. If you want to grow as a truly generous person this could be a significant step forward.When you think about becoming a deeply generous person, where giving of yourself in healthy ways for the good of others becomes second nature, not a chore or even a hesitation, do you know where to start? Does that seem like a massive and overwhelming project of personal change? Read Deuteronomy 6. Notice the behavioral strategies that God gives Israel so that they would stay empowered for the mission. He is completely reshaping the identity of his people and empowering them for a massive mission, but by means of small, ordinary behaviors and habits. Read the passage again. Did you notice them?This Sunday Deuteronomy 6 will help us see the power of small habits, little behaviors, to fundamentally shape us. Developing these small habits and little behaviors will build deep and genuine generosity into our character.I look forward to worshiping together.Pastor David
