Open Hands: Generosity as Worship
5d ago00:40:50Tap to summarizeMoney does not just matter for personal discipleship, it also matters for our common mission as the church. Disobedient or poorly taught disciples in this area produce a church that is starved in its ability to do it's spiritual mission by a lack of physical resources. But faithful and obedient discipleship fuels the mission of the church, enhances its impact and in the process shines a light to the world that is not just radically counter cultural but compellingly beautiful as it showcases the generous heart of God himself.This week Andrew continues our Open Hands series, preaching from Mark 12:41-44True generosity is measured by sacrifice and devotion, not amount. It is at the heart of discipleship: becoming like the generous God we worship. Lack of generosity is THE key danger to true worshipSermon by Andrew Grills
