We live in a world shaped by fear.

Fear of not having enough, fear of losing control, fear of running out, fear that we must secure our own lives. Scripture tells a very different story:

Everything we have is a gift from a God who gives freely, joyfully, and abundantly.

Throughout Scripture, God invites His people to see reality through the lens of His generous character rather than the myth of scarcity.

This series traces the theme of abundance in Scripture, confronting the lies that turn us inward and receiving again the life of trust, generosity, and open-handedness that Jesus models and makes possible.

Disordered Loves
Scripture: Genesis 3:1-7

There is nothing we have that we have not received; all we have and are belong to God, through the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. To spend everything on ourselves, and to give without sacrifice is the way of the world that is contrary to our Father's intent. But generosity is the way of those who call Christ their Lord. We are determined to be generous because our Father is generous. We delight to give freely out of that which God has given to us.
