Centreville Presbyterian Church
The most powerful gifts are ones that take faith to give. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Emeritus Rob Bromhead continues our series on what it means to live generously.
Philippians 4:14-20 ESV
“…their [the churches in Macedonia] overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity.” (2 Corinthians 8:2)
“…they gave themselves FIRST to the Lord.” (2 Corinthians 8:5b emphasis mine)
THE PREMISE is found in (vs. 14-18): That out of our love relationship with God comes this overflowing joy that results in rich generosity.
Three reasons for being generous (Philippians 4:14-18)
1) My Giving is an Encouragement to others. (vs 14-16)
2) My Giving is an investment in the future. (v. 17)
3. My Giving is a Sacrifice to God (vs. 18)
THE PROMISE (v. 19): "My God will supply all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus."
The Source: "And my God will ..."
The Scope: "...will meet all your needs.
The Supply: "…according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus."
