Grace Christian Church encourages developing a generous spirit based on several Bible passages. The document references Philippians 4:10-19 where the Philippians generously supported Paul even when no one else did. It notes that generous gifts are a sweet smelling sacrifice pleasing to God. The document concludes that God will generously supply all needs according to his riches in Christ for those who generously give to help others.

This Sunday we heard a continuation of John’s Last Supper Discourse where there is no mention of bread or wine – rather he speaks of being in relationship – about being part of the Trinity. To understand what this means I invite you to look at God – not as a noun – but as a verb. If you do, you just may understand that going to mass each Sunday is not about “going to” communion – but rather “being in” communion. This shift in your viewpoint may just allow you to see Christ everywhere and in everybody!

We need to recover an appreciation for our work lives. I argue that Christians should begin with grace, continue in grace, and end with grace, which God provides generously for all areas of our lives.

Matthew 6:2-4. Synopsis: Jesus’s first example of properly practicing your righteousness is about giving to the needy. Our God is a giving God and He has consistently expected his people to help those who are in need. However, as the contrast between Joseph and Ananias and Sapphira demonstrates, it’s vital that we help because we want to help not because we want to be noticed. Paul reminds the Corinthians, and us, of the proper way to give righteously.

3. How I praise God that you are
concerned for me. I know you
always have been but never had the
chance to help me. Not that I was in
need as I have learned to be content
with whatever I have. I know how to
live on very little or with plenty. I’ve
learned the secret with either little or
plenty. I can do all things through
Christ who strengthens me...
4. As you know you Philippians were
the only church to send me financial
help when I first brought you the
Good News, no other church did
this. Even when I was in Thesalonica
you sent help more than once. I
don’t say this because I want a gift
from you, rather I want you to
receive a reward for your kindness.
Right now I have plenty because of
the gift you sent to me recently...
5. They are a sweet smelling sacrifice
that is acceptable & pleasing to God.
And this same God who takes care
of me, will supply all your needs
from His glorious riches which have
been given to us in Christ Jesus!
Philippians 4: 10 – 19(A)
6. You have done so
well to share with
me...14
You sent me help
more than once..16
Your gifts are a
sweet smelling
aroma pleasing to
God...18
7. And my God
will supply
all your needs
from His glorious
riches which have
been given to us in
Christ Jesus
Phil. 4:19
9. The
Heart
Good Samaritan
Time
Energy
Money
Bravery
10. God is generous
James 1:5
Never have to beg
Psalm 37:25
Better to be Godly
Psalm 37:16
Neither rich nor poor
Prov.30:8-9
11. But if you give, your
gifts will return to you
in full, pressed down
shaken together
running over into
your lap. The degree
to which you give
determines what you
receive...
Luke 6:38
12. Whoever gives you a cup of water in
My name because you belong to
Christ will certainly not lose their
reward...
Mk.9:41
13. God will not
forget your work
& the love you
have shown Him
as you have
helped &
continue to help
His people.
Heb.6:10
