There was a time when phrases like "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" and "It is better to give than to receive" were widely understood, regardless of faith. Both, rooted in the teachings of Jesus, emphasized generosity—a principle we’ve lost sight of in today’s pursuit of happiness. Proverbs 11:24-25 reminds us that true happiness isn’t found in holding on to what we have but in giving freely to others, with generosity enriching both the giver and the receiver. In this message, Pastor Dave Dummitt explores how embracing a generous spirit can transform relationships and communities, leading to lasting happiness.
