Generosity Starts With One Thing

The Bible tells us God loves a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:6-8). Have you ever thought about generosity that way? The joy of giving can change our lives. Let’s find out more in this message.

[@EstherCole]

Sometimes we don’t see the harvest of our generosity in our lifetime. That's why generosity is an act of faith. But there will be ripple effects. Thank you for your joyful giving.

[@melaniemartin730]

Great teaching from mr. Beall, because for such a time as this, God loves a cheerful giver...period!🍍🍇🍍🍇🍍🥥

[@space2079]

Jesus is the Lord!!!!!!!!

[@user-uq7iq4wu4w]

Great message. To tithe does not mean 100% to the church. Yes, support your church. But give to the poor, needy, homeless, hungry. Thousands of great places your money is needed.

[@jannwebb]

Hopefully your church addresses all those needs. It doesn’t excuse us from paying attention to the needs around us

[@melaniemartin730]

​@@jannwebbabsolutely.😮😮😮

[@johngonzalez8316]

That has not been my experience. I tried dividing up my tithe to different charities and I never reaped a harvest . When I started tithing to my church I started reaping a harvest. After my tithe to my church, i still give to charities. I’m just sharing my experience.

[@jenniferfuertes2668]

Ummm. No. Tithe goes to your "storehouse"/ church where you attend. The OT sets very clear expectation of Israel when they brought their tithe and sacrifices to the temple. Giving to charity and the poor is an OFFERING - above & beyond the 1st tenth to God. See Leveticus, Malachi, Isaiah...aaaand then evidently what this guest Pastor addresses.

[@life.church]

Jennifer Fuertes Mark 12: a widow woman gave two copper coins Just doing what you can to help I believe is what matters. Jesus turned over the tables and ran people out with a whip for turning the temple into a business. Yes, give your first 10th but you can spread it to more than one church I believe. I give 5% to the church I grew up in 5% to K Love Radio and at times Life Church.-Team LC Ronnie

[@cindyloguirato8435]

No matter what time of year I always donate to the Church food bank. Even small gestures of kindness is what Jesus loves.

[@melaniemartin730]

Kindness counts...period!🧞🧞🧚🧚

Praying that God will show you a way you can give Melanie!

[@life.church]

Melanie Martin giving can just be willing to pray the apostles once came upon a beggar in the street he asked for money. They responded silver and gold we have none, but such as we have we will give to you. They prayed and his heart we filled with so much joy. Acts 3: 1-10

[@frankfraser6123]

😅I will❤

[@melaniemartin730]

Because everything belongs to god...period!🧚🧚🤩🤩

[@life.church]

❤️

[@MoneyLifeShow]

That was awesome 🙏

[@KeepsLearning]

1:39 The Corinthians may have stopped giving because of the conflict they had with Paul.

[@debwhite5281]

God is a cheerful giver, but he will take from a grumpy one.

Pastor Craig my name is Christina Morris and I live in Norman Oklahoma I had been going to your Life Church in Yukon Oklahoma for 4 years now I came to Norman Oklahoma to attend the Life Church here in Norman Oklahoma granted I had on a pair of boots jeans a long sleeve shirt and a jacket and one of your ladies in your Norman Life Church told me I needed to remember where I was at that I am I am not at my my farm that I needed to wear dresses or skirts I'm a tomboy I don't wear dresses I don't wear skirts I wear jeans boots tennis shoes jeans shirts I've never had a problem at the Life Church in Yukon Oklahoma but this Life Church in Norman Oklahoma that lady was rude and very very nasty

[@user-uu4xt1sh6z]

I will not attend your church anymore because of this lady . I had just lost my husband and had not been to church in years. I did want to attend a church, I felt comfortable with. And this women could have been a little nicer, but choose to be nasty instead.
