This week at All People, Pastor Josh opens with announcements, including the exciting news of the church's transition from preview nights to the formal planting of a new church in Lowell, Massachusetts, with regular Sunday services beginning December 7th. Pastor Josh then dives into the concept of "radical generosity," asserting that God established this principle through the creation of the world and the ultimate gift of Jesus Christ (John 3:16) to restore humanity from the consequences of sin. He challenges the congregation to embrace a "radical way to live" by ceasing to keep parts of their lives—like "junk drawers" or "off limits" rooms in a house—closed off from God. This fully surrendered life is broken down into three areas for radical commitment: radical beliefs, demanding adherence to scripture over cultural norms; radical worship, defined not by Sunday singing but by a daily surrendered life following Christ's plan; and radical stewardship of time, talent, and treasure, which includes honoring God through tithing as a "training ground" for generosity.
