Sacrificial Generosity, Part 2

Daniel Knutson

6.13.21

Generosity is sharing what we have,

with those who do not have

Sacrificial Generosity

Sacrificial Generosity

Radical Hospitality

Uncommon Humility

Acts 4

32 All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had.

33 The apostles testified powerfully to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and God’s great blessing was upon them all.

34 There were no needy people among them, because those who owned land or houses would sell them 35 and bring the money to the apostles to give to those in need.

36 For instance, there was Joseph, the one the apostles nicknamed Barnabas (which means “Son of Encouragement”). He was from the tribe of Levi and came from the island of Cyprus.

37 He sold a field he owned and brought the money to the apostles.

More ownership makes us more responsible, not more blessed…

We give up what we want, for what we want even more.

Generosity without expectation
