In this Advent message from 2 Corinthians 8:7–9, Paul frames Christian giving not as obligation or guilt, but as a response to the self-giving grace of Jesus Christ.

This sermon explores why we resist having our love tested, how the incarnation is God’s proof of love, and how grace forms generosity from the inside out. Advent becomes not just a season of sentiment, but a mirror—revealing what we cling to, what we release, and how Christ’s poverty makes us rich in grace, mercy, and new life.

Whether you’re weary, secure, guarded, or simply curious about faith, this message invites you to look again at Jesus—the One who became poor for our sake—and to discover how His grace reshapes our loves.
