What Will They Remember About You?
There’s a moment in Scripture where a woman’s life is remembered… not by her words, but by her actions and the needs she quietly met. Her generosity was steady, personal, and practical. When she died, the community gathered not with words, but with tangible evidence of her impact. Her name was Tabitha.
Biblical generosity is more than giving money, it is a way of life that powerfully reflects Jesus to the world. The story of Tabitha in Acts 9 highlights how every day, faithful generosity can transform communities and draw people to God.
In a world full of outrage, noise, and quick opinions, this sermon invites us back to a simpler, braver calling… To love our neighbors, serve consistently, and to live lives so generous they become an altar for God’s power.
This Thursday, Tyler challenges us to do our part by cultivating habitual, practical, evangelistic generosity, and intentionally building it into our Rule of Life.
To help us discern where God is calling us to live generously here in the ‘Ville, Tyler offers three guiding questions. Answering even one moves you closer to God’s invitation; discovering the overlap of two or three can bring you to the center of His calling for you.
When generosity becomes personal, consistent, and embodied, it doesn’t just meet needs, it tells a story about who God is. How can I bring who I am, and who God created me to be, to bear on the needs and issues in my community?
