The Blessed Life #1: It’s All About the Heart
In this powerful message, we're challenged to reconsider our understanding of giving. It's not about money, but about the heart. We explore Luke 6:38, often misinterpreted as being about financial giving, when it's actually about judgment, forgiveness, and condemnation. This revelation encourages us to examine our motives in giving - are we giving to get, or getting to give? The lesson emphasizes that true giving encompasses all aspects of life, not just finances. We're reminded that we're born selfish but born again generous, reflecting God's nature. This insight invites us to grow in generosity, moving beyond our natural inclinations towards a more Christ-like approach to life and relationships.
