When six royal palms along a Miami street were vandalized, an anonymous donor not only paid for new trees but planted them himself, and only later did it come to light what he was really after. This story, from a sermon based on 2 Corinthians 8-9, shows that in generosity it is not the amount that counts but the motivation of the heart. You will hear about manna in the desert, about the Corinthians who forgot the promise they had made, and about Christ, who though He was rich became poor to make us rich. Listen and see what your attitude to money says about your faith.
What Does God Want from My Money?
Missio Dei
What’s important in this series is its reference to the broader picture of the Missio Dei—that is, God’s plan for the redemption of ALL creation. The point is to show that everything we do—our commitment, our self-sacrifice, our prayer, our fasting, or our acts of service—is all part of a larger story, and we want to do these things because we are part of the Missio Dei, or God’s mission.
