If Jesus wasn't actually, physically resurrected from the dead, Christianity is worthless. It's not enough for Jesus to just have risen metaphorically in the hearts of his followers, his physical body had to begin breathing again and rise from the grave by the power of God. But how can we reasonably conclude that this miraculous event occurred in history?

What really motivates people to be more generous givers? Is it rules and commands? Or is it grace? In this teaching, we continue to talk about money, giving, and what Jesus thinks. And we discover the surprising truth that it's actually grace that takes you much further than law. Jesus is discipling his followers to respond to his grace with hearts that actually want to give! Imagine what a church could be and do when its people are overly eager to give to meet the needs of the hurting world around them...not because they have to, but because they get to!
