When Giving Feels Irrational
This week Pastor Phil continues our two-week series Rearranged with a message on generosity shaped by Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 6. He talks about how money can easily become a competing master in our lives, why generosity is not about the amount we have but about what we do with what we have, and how giving frees our hearts from the grip of scarcity and fear.
Pastor Phil also teaches that real generosity is shaped by three things Jesus lays out: it isn’t about being seen, it isn’t a one-time act, and it is always noticed and rewarded by God. He challenges us to adopt a posture of open-handed, consistent generosity—trusting God to provide, investing in what lasts, and living in a way that reflects the hope and kingdom values Jesus calls us to.
