The Well

The first word of the Great Commission is an important one . . . and a challenging one. “GO and make disciples.” “How ‘bout if we STAY and make disciples? Can’t we just phone it in. Can we text them? Maybe a clever meme on social media?” No, today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how we need to go and share our faith on their turf. We can’t expect them to come to church, Jesus expects us to go and meet them right where they are. Today’s talk is from our series of best of messages.

Wouldn’t it be great to enjoy the“Christmas Spirit” 365 days year? In this message, Chip shares how you can cultivate that winsome spirit of Christmas in your heart 24/7.

Breakthrough Concept #4: God does not measure generosity by the size of our gift, but by the size of our sacrifice.

The Christmas Story: A graduate course in generosity

• The Magi -Mt. 2:11 - Your Money
• The Shepherds -Lk. 2:15-17 - Your Time
• Joseph -Mt. 1:18-24 - Your Reputation
• Mary -Lk. 1:26-38 - Your Future
• Jesus -Mk 10:45 - Your Life
• The Father -Jn 3:16 - Your Most Precious Possession

Three observations:

1. Generosity is not so much a virtuous act, as it is a virtuous RESPONSE.
2. God does not measure generosity by the size of our gift, but by the size of our SACRIFICE.
3. Increasing levels of generosity bring increasing levels of REWARD / BLESSING.

Generosity is to love as thunder is to lightning: Luke 6:38

Made any New Year’s Resolutions for twenty-twenty-six? Well, being resolved is one thing, staying resolved is quite another. We sometimes start off doing really well, but when frustration or complacency set in, we may stop being as diligent as we need to be. Today, Ron wants to encourage you make a specific life change, and he wants to help you make it a permanent one.  

Remember in grade school, those rare moments where the teacher was called out of the room? In most cases, chaos ensued. The class did whatever it wanted So, if we tell ourselves there is no God, does that also introduce the likelihood of chaos? We’ll explore this question in our study today.

Psalm 14

As Abraham begins to enter into the blessings of God in terms of land and goods and people, we see a godly spirit of generosity come through (and perhaps we see the start of a contrast with Lot). The blessing of God is meant to make his people a blessing to others.
