The Principles of Generosity
John 12:3-8

1. Mary’s generosity was extravagantly poured outward.

2. Judas’ generosity was selfishly poured inward.

3. Jesus’ generosity purposefully redirected hypocrisy.

1. The perfume was the token that represented the extravagance of Mary’s heart.

2. The cross was the token that represented the extravagance of God’s heart for His children.

3. The latter of extravagant giving.
a. Tithes (10%)
b. Offerings (Beyond the 10%)
c. Extravagant Offerings (The Painful Cost)

1. The seven phases of generosity.
a. Hearing
b. Excitement
c. Fear
d. Logic
e. Doubt
f. Faith
g. Obedience

2. A reward of generosity: A faithful heart.

“It takes faith to give generously. It grows faith to give generously. It rewards faith when we give generously.”
- Pastor Arlie Davis, You Can Bank On It (2010)

3. A reward of generosity: A selfless heart.

Ask yourself:
“Am I a Mary giver, or a Judas receiver?”

Bottom Line:
A generous heart is a sign of a discipled heart.

The 90-Day Tithe Challenge
Our part is to commit to bring back to God the tithe, the first 10% for 90 days. At the end of 90 days, if you have not experienced, recognized, God’s faithful care of you, nurturing you in your journey of faith, then we commit to giving back every penny you’ve given to CWC during the 90 days, no questions asked.
