You’ll likely notice a common message in the ads and marketing that surround us: the accumulation of more things equals happiness. But with a “never enough” mindset, it’s impossible to be what God desires us to be: cheerful givers. In this message from 2 Corinthians 8–9, Pastor J.D. helps us to see a kind of giving that is motivated not by guilt, but as a response to the grace that we have received. When we have this as our focus, we can move from asking, “What must I give?” to “What do I get to give?”

Many ancient cultures would bury their dead with all of their prized worldly possessions, so that they could take those things with them into the next life. But the Bible tells us that no one can take anything with them out of this life. When Pastor Jeff tells you that you don’t need any kind of riches or wealth to get into Heaven, he means it! Jesus cares about the status of your heart, not the size of your checkbook. God has the whole world in the palm of His hand, but what He really wants is a relationship with you.
