In one of his letters to the Corinthians, Paul illustrates how the poor Macedonian churches (like Philippi) gave with overflowing joy—even beyond their means—and how their grace-filled, sacrificial giving inspired them to participate in a collection to support believers in Jerusalem. Their example proves that God’s grace doesn’t just transform one heart through addition—it multiplies, creating a “wealth of generosity” that meets real needs, helps ministry expand, and brings glory to God. We invite you to worship with us on Sabbath, January 10, as Pastor Chad delivers the second message in his New Year sermon series, “Be Generous.”
