Generosity and the Kingdom of God | The Well Podcast S3E13

In this episode of The Well podcast, Pastor Phil and Pastor Chad talk about the Sermon on the Mount and what that sermon reveals about the Kingdom of God and stewarding our treasures.
The Kingdom of God is the rule of God in our hearts. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus declares Himself the Messiah and tells us what the Kingdom of God is all about. When we receive Jesus as the King of our lives, we are welcomed into an upside-down kingdom where things are completely opposite from the world.
Jesus tells us that where your treasure is, there your heart is. If you know how to see money biblically, you know that God doesn’t want you to give it all away. He wants you to understand that He owns it and that it all belongs to Him. We are only stewards of the money God has given us.
What does it take to be generous? You don’t have to be rich to be generous; you just have to be generous. Generosity is born out of the size of the sacrifice, not out of the size of the gift. In the Kingdom of God, the generous person is the one who sacrifices to give their gift.
Money is amoral. It is not the issue, but your attitude toward it is the issue. If you don’t have the right perspective on money, you’ll never have enough of it. When money is what you treasure on earth, you’ll always desire a little bit more. But if you are saving and stewarding your money wisely, recognizing it all belongs to God, you can enjoy the things God gives you.
Are you the kind of person God can trust with more money? If you can’t be faithful with the little things, God cannot trust you with the bigger things. Anytime you play it safe, you’re not living to the glory of God. As a Father, God wants to bless His sons and daughters. God blesses you not based on what you have, but based on what you do with what you have.
