Sermon
Marks of Discipleship: Radical Generosity in a World of Selfishness
Treeline Church

Summary
Jesus welcomes us back into a relationship with God as our provider through grace, transforming us from self-protective scarcity mindsets into radically generous people. The Macedonian churches exemplified this radical generosity—giving beyond their means during poverty—because their hearts had been changed by encountering Jesus's grace. When God becomes our provider rather than ourselves, generosity naturally overflows.
Highlights
It's easier to try to fix the whole systems of the world than to fix what's broken inside your own heart.
Radically generous people give more than they can spare. You're giving a little more than you feel like you can—that's about the right amount.
When God is your provider, it means you are a steward. God calls us to be generous with our time, our talents, and our treasures—everything.
