This week Pastor Matt Dean continued in 2 Corinthians 8, where we see Paul explaining to the church that financial integrity matters to Christ. He calls giving to others a grace, based on the grace that Jesus showed. Therefore, when we are not giving generously to Christ, His grace is not at work in us.

Beyond our tithe, there are moments and opportunities to freely give, and when we have first given ourselves to the Lord, and keep our hearts open to God and others, it is much easier to keep our finances open, too.  Would we be people marked not by our riches, but by the richness of our willingness to be joyful in generosity.
