We are joined by our good friend, Todd Peterson, as he imparts wisdom on what it looks like to live a life of generosity instead of comfort. He illuminates the sacrifice of Jesus dying on the cross as the ultimate example of generosity. Jesus didn’t just give 10%; He gave everything.

Scripture References

24One person gives freely, yet gains even more;

another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.

25A generous person will prosper;

whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.

26People curse the one who hoards grain,

but they pray God’s blessing on the one who is willing to sell.

6He has shown his people the power of his works,

giving them the lands of other nations.

3Nations will come to your light,

and kings to the brightness of your dawn.

And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

18Then Jesus came to them and said,

“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

14How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?

9And they sang a new song, saying:

“You are worthy to take the scroll

and to open its seals,

because you were slain,

and with your blood you purchased for God

persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.

9After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.

26From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.
