Pastor Derek brings in a friend to talk about biblical giving. Gospel-rooted giving is about approaching generosity with joy rather than obligation. In 2 Corinthians 9, Paul teaches that our resources are like seeds to be sown generously, resulting in a harvest of righteousness. True biblical generosity is voluntary, planned, and faith-based—not pressured, impulsive, or fear-driven. When we give cheerfully, we reflect God's character and experience a unique joy that material possessions cannot provide. Even in seasons of need, generosity remains essential to Christian life, demonstrating our trust in God's provision and our commitment to His kingdom.
