OUR GIVING IS A REFLECTION OF GOD’S GENEROSITY
Apprentices of Jesus are motivated to give their time, talents and treasure because Jesus has given so extravagantly to them. What amazes you about the generosity of Jesus?
2 Corinthians 8:9
“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.”
Apprentices of Jesus reflect the generosity of God in every area of life; giving time, gifts, money, listening ear, attention, hard work, food, care etc. In what areas have you experienced generosity from others and how has that reflected the heart of God to you?
