The Rhythm of Doing Good: Generosity
Acts 4:32–37
What does generosity really mean—and why does it matter for our faith, our community, and our well-being?
In this sermon, we conclude our stewardship series The Rhythm of Doing Good by turning to the early church in Acts, where generosity flowed naturally from lives shaped by resurrection grace. Far from a story about guilt, pressure, or selling everything you own, the witness of Barnabas and the first Christian community invites us to see generosity as a faithful response to God’s abundance already at work among us.
Building on the rhythms of gratitude and growth, this message explores how generosity is not rooted in fear or obligation, but in trust, connection, and shared life. When grace takes root, generosity shows up in many forms—through our prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness—and it strengthens not only the community around us, but our own hearts and souls as well.
This sermon invites listeners to imagine what it looks like to invest in God’s future by offering what we have, who we are, and how we show up—so that no one walks alone, and God’s love is made visible in the world.
Listen in as we reflect on what it means to live generously—not because we have to, but because grace has already changed us.
