Everyone gives

Everyone is not generous

Generosity is not random acts of giving

The financially generous give more, save more, and consume less

The life ordered around generosity is happier (Acts 20:35)

What we do with our money dictates where our hearts are and go (Matthew 6:21)

Generosity: Premeditated, calculated, designated

Obstacle to generosity: Thinking and behavior as a consumer and not a generous person

Consumer mindset: “If it comes to me, then it is for me"

Result of consumer living: Debt and no financial margin

How much more money would it take to break the habit of spending more than you make?

Answer: More money than you will get at one time

Not an income issue but a self-control issue

How much more money would it take to break the habit of using debt to get what you want now?

A contentment issue, not a money issue

How much more money would it take to create financial margin and live within your means?

A discipline issue

How much more money would it take to erase financial concerns and stop worrying about money?

Worry not a money issue but a spiritual issue

Consumption assumption: If it comes to me, it is for me

Those with the consumption assumption are greedy (Luke 12:15)

The greedy still give

Transform from being a consumer to an extravagantly generous Jesus follower

Who will get what you prepared for yourself? SOMEBODY ELSE

“This” refers to total loss

Generous people don't assume all is for them to consume

Generous mindset: All I have is not for me

Generosity: Premeditated, calculated, designated
