About this Episode
Wouldn’t it be great to enjoy the“Christmas Spirit” 365 days year? In this message, Chip shares how you can cultivate that winsome spirit of Christmas in your heart 24/7.
Breakthrough Concept #4: God does not measure generosity by the size of our gift, but by the size of our sacrifice.
The Christmas Story: A graduate course in generosity
- The Magi -Mt. 2:11 - Your Money
- The Shepherds -Lk. 2:15-17 - Your Time
- Joseph -Mt. 1:18-24 - Your Reputation
- Mary -Lk. 1:26-38 - Your Future
- Jesus -Mk 10:45 - Your Life
- The Father -Jn 3:16 - Your Most Precious Possession
Three observations:
- Generosity is not so much a virtuous act, as it is a virtuous RESPONSE.
- God does not measure generosity by the size of our gift, but by the size of our SACRIFICE.
- Increasing levels of generosity bring increasing levels of REWARD / BLESSING.
Generosity is to love as thunder is to lightning: Luke 6:38
