Christian Giving — A Matter of the Heart. (2 Cor 9: 1-5)
Manage episode 514678236 series 2933643
EPISODE NOTES
Summary:
In this episode, we open 2 Corinthians 9, where Paul begins to talk about generosity and giving in the Christian church. Using the Jerusalem collection as his example, Paul shows that money is not merely a practical matter — it’s a deeply spiritual one. Giving is not a business transaction, but a reflection of the heart.
Key Themes:
· The sensitivity of money in church life
· The background of Paul’s collection for Jerusalem
· Biblical principles behind Christian giving
· The difference between manipulation and ministry
· Why true generosity is rooted in love, not pressure
Main Takeaway:
Christian giving is not about campaigns or coercion — it’s about the overflow of love. When we give willingly, generously, and transparently, we reflect the grace of God Himself.
