What pastors are saying

“Jesus promotes a different approach to generosity than we might be accustomed to. It's a generosity that requires two things. The first is that we give first to the Lord, not last.”
“The real secret of generosity is seeing the generosity of Jesus. The real secret of generosity is seeing and believing that God so loved the world that He gave. He gave His one and only Son.”
“Your generosity isn't simply paying the church bills. Your generosity is God's mission in the world.”
“Generosity is not a financial decision. Oftentimes when we talk about generosity, we talk about what we have to give, but it is a heart response to the goodness of God.”
“Christ’s sacrificial poverty enabled our spiritual richness; therefore, our generosity is a response to receiving grace, not earning it.”
