Build a culture marked by caring generosity.
  • James 513-16a
  • Acts 432-37 ? 32 All the believers were one in
    heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his
    possessions was his own, but they shared
    everything they had. 33 With great power the
    apostles continued to testify to the resurrection
    of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them
    all. 34 There were no needy persons among them.
    For from time to time those who owned lands or
    houses sold them, brought the money from the
    sales 35 and put it at the apostles' feet, and it
    was distributed to anyone as he had need.
    36 Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the
    apostles called Barnabas (which means Son of
    Encouragement), 37 sold a field he owned and
    brought the money and put it at the apostles'
    feet.

Build a culture that intentionally trusts God.
  • 2 Corinthians 813-15
  • Age-old principles
  • Rhythmic resting helps us care generously
  • Rhythmic caring giving helps us prove the
    faithfulness of God
  • Luke 414-21
  • Matthew 112-6
  • Trusting generosity is how Jesus describes His
    kingdom

Build a culture that releases generous people to
lead.
  • Acts 61-6 ? 1 In those days when the number of
    disciples was increasing, the Grecian Jews among
    them complained against the Hebraic Jews because
    their widows were being overlooked in the daily
    distribution of food. 2 So the Twelve gathered
    all the disciples together and said, "It would
    not be right for us to neglect the ministry of
    the word of God in order to wait on tables.
    3 Brothers, choose seven men from among you who
    are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We
    will turn this responsibility over to them 4 and
    will give our attention to prayer and the
    ministry of the word." 5 This proposal pleased
    the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full
    of faith and of the Holy Spirit also Philip,
    Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas
    from Antioch, a convert to Judaism. 6 They
    presented these men to the apostles, who prayed
    and laid their hands on them.
