Generosity takes many different forms; but all those forms will have this

commonality: generous hearts are looking outward to the good of

others. In our text we see Esther using her position to generously help

her people. How can you use where God has put you to help others?

Generous hearts are free from slavery to greed and fear. “The best way

to break money’s power over us is through giving lots of it away.” (Tim

Keller) The most generous heart of Jesus has set you free from sin and

death; He has set you free to live joyfully and well.

Esther 4:12-16; Proverbs 11:26; Mark 2:5; Romans 12:6, 8;

2 Corinthians 8:9; 2 Corinthians 9:6-8; Titus 3:4-6; 1 John 4:10

Key Thought: Generous hearts are free.

Key Thought: You can’t give what you don’t have.

Key Thought: God will not be outdone in generosity.
