This is Us: Generosity

We will lead the way with irrational generosity.
1. God doesn't need our money. Ps 50:7-12
2. Please, don't be foolish. Lk 12:15-21
3. Generosity is not something God wants FROM us, it's something God wants FOR us. 1 Tim 6:17-19, 6-9; Mt 6:19-21
4. Generosity is the sign of a changed heart. Lk 19:7-8
5. We will fund God's work with the generous cheerful, sacrificial, giving of God's people.
-generous: 2 Cor 9:6
-cheerful: 2 Cor 9:7
-sacrificial: 2 Cor 8:1-4
-irrational: Mk 12:41-44
Generosity is not about the size of the gift, it's about the heart.
6. God is the most generous giver of all time. Jn 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son

This is Us: Mission

1. We Live on Mission
Don't be a false advertiser of Jesus.
Mt 13:24-29, 36-43; Jn 3:16
2. If you are a follower of Jesus, you are called to be a missionary. We are all missionaries if we have placed our faith in Jesus.
3. Jesus lived on mission. Lk 5:29-32,19:7-10
4. Our mission is to boldly proclaim the story of Jesus. Acts 1:8; 2 Cor 5:11, 14, 17-21 "We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." v 20‭-‬21
5. Be bold, not weird. Acts 4:29-31 "Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” v29-30
6. What if we brought our friends to Jesus? What would happen? Lk 5:17-26
