The Gathering

We are so often used to hearing about generosity as something someone wants from us. But the Bible talks about generosity as something God wants FOR us. In this series, we will talk about that distinction and how it relates to the power of generosity to make a difference in our lives. Each week I will talk about a different scriptural challenge around generosity, and what it offers not just to others, but for the one who practices it. My hope is that the series will demonstrate for people that generosity is not something we want from them, but something we want for them.

Life never quite goes how we plan for it to go. Life gets disrupted. Disruptions don’t just come in the form of a worldwide pandemic. Unexpected disruptions happen at work, in our marriages, with kids, in relationships, and we are left to figure out how to move forward. In this series, we will study the Old Testament story of exile, a major 70 year disruption in the life of God’s chosen people, Israel. We will learn from their experience of living through disruption and coming out on the other side as new and stronger people.
