In this episode, we walk through 2 Corinthians chapters 8–10, where Paul teaches that true generosity flows from God’s grace and that spiritual authority is marked by humility and integrity. We reflect on the Macedonian church’s example of sacrificial giving, Paul’s encouragement to the Corinthians to give cheerfully, and the principle of equality in sharing resources. We also consider the importance of transparency in stewardship and Paul’s defense of his ministry, which points us to the truth that all glory belongs to God. These chapters invite us to examine how generosity, humility, and integrity can shape our walk with Christ.
