Want financial freedom and the joy of giving back? Join Chip’s new series, "The Genius of Generosity," starting now!
Four reasons it’s genius to be generous:
1. Generosity CHANGES our lives. -Acts 20:35; Pr. 11:25
2. Generosity CONNECTS us with others.
3. Generosity helps us INVEST in what matters. -Mt. 6:19-24
4. Generosity FREES our hearts.
Question: If generosity is so smart, why isn’t everyone doing it?
Breakthrough Concept #1: Generosity is the gateway to intimacy with God.
Three questions brilliant people ask
1. Am I using the money entrusted to me in accordance with the OWNER’S wishes?
2. Am I carefully keeping account of where all the OWNER’S funds are going?
3. Am I becoming “best friends” with the “OWNER” by the privilege and opportunity of managing His resources?

Jesus came in poverty that we might be rich. In fact, according to the prophecies of Isaiah, He came as a servant. In this message, Pastor Lutzer ponders Christ as our model of sacrificial servanthood. We too are called to be servants, following in the way of our Master—the ultimate Servant.

In this episode of The Creative Connection, Ed Young explains the significance of Christmas through the symbolism of three trees: the Tree of Life representing God’s original plan for humanity, the cross as the Tree of Pardon where Jesus bore our sins, and the Tree of Paradise in Revelation symbolizing eternal life with God. He calls listeners to understand the gospel by understanding these trees and to respond by inviting Jesus into their lives, transforming Christmas from a mere holiday into a holy day.
Go ahead and put up that tree.
