The Generosity of the Cross
Giving in Response to Christ

(2 Corinthians 9:7)

 Introduction: Giving is not about pressure; it’s about perspective.

Like the little boy who clung to his toy, many Christians say, “It’s my life, money and time!” when it comes to giving. The best New Testament teaching on Christian giving can be found in 2 Corinthians 8-9.

• God calls us to be cheerful givers, not reluctant or pressured ones.
• 2 Corinthians 9:7 – says, “God loves a “hilarious giver.”

When we understand how much Jesus gave for us, our giving becomes a joyful act of worship.
