EXTRAVAGANT GENEROSITY

JESUS AND WE part 3

July 20, 2025

2In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. 3 For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, 4 they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the Lord’s people. 5 And they exceeded our expectations: They gave themselves first of all to the Lord, and then

When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, “I tell you, I have not found such grea

SEE A NEED – FEEL THE NEED – MEET THE NEED 

We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters.  If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion—how can God’s love be in that person?  Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions.
