Generosity

The following seven questions are designed to help you reflect on the spirit of generosity Christ is developing within you. As a church family, we have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in our community when we faithfully offer what God has entrusted to us—including our time, talents, resources, and finances. As you work through these questions, be honest with yourself and invite the Lord to speak to your heart. At the end, spend some time in prayer, asking God to deepen your desire to live generously and to show you where He may be inviting you to give of yourself more freely. This reflection is not about asking you to give more money to the church. Rather, it is an opportunity to consider your relationship with generosity as a whole—how you view and use your finances, skills, abilities, time, and resources to love others and further God's work in our community.
