In this sermon on 2 Corinthians 8:1-9, Pastor Mark launches the church's Stone by Stone campaign by arguing that Christian generosity must begin not with pressure, percentages, or financial technique, but with identity in the gospel: because Christ was rich yet became poor so that his people might become rich in him, believers already possess justification, adoption, inheritance, and participation in God's kingdom. Walking through Paul's description of the Macedonian churches, he shows that money is grace in our hands, that joy rather than increased income produces generosity, that disciples must give themselves to the Lord before money can follow, that spiritual maturity includes growth in generosity, and that our spending reveals what we truly love. The sermon calls the church to stop living as if it were spiritually poor and to live, give, and love like people who are already rich in Christ.
