A Generous Sunday
By admin | May 26, 2008
Yesterday we finished up the last message in our most recent series called Helix. We spent the last 5 weeks tracking through what we call our church’s core DNA. We hope to become a Missional Community of Beauty, Truth, and Generosity. So then, we took the time to consider what it might look like for us, individually and corporately, to become generous with our time, talent, and treasure.
We tried to highlight this teaching by choosing songs that would be a fit thematically. Check out the set-list:
Take It All: Hillsong United
Offering: Third Day
How Great is Our God: Chris Tomlin
Beautiful Jesus: Kristian Stanfill
Take My Life: Chris Tomlin
Overall, it was a great morning! One of most penetrating thoughts I recall is that, ultimately, we must understand that the gospel–God’s solution for the problem of sin in the person of Jesus Christ–is what will compel us to give our lives away to the world in generosity.
Philippians 2: 5-8
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
