BOLD Generosity

Choosing to give generously, to give until it truly costs us something, is a spiritual practice we often reserve for mature believers. But Jesus' encounter with Zacchaeus demonstrates that generosity is a natural response to Jesus' good news. When we truly encounter Jesus, giving ought to be a basic, initial response. If we have difficulty with choosing to be generous, we should ask ourselves: what did Zacchaeus see in Jesus that I don't?

We ended 2012 in the Revelation, exploring how Jesus’ coming into our lives is the End of the World as we know it. But if Jesus’ coming is the End, it’s also a new beginning. Jesus’ death and resurrection reconnect us with God, open up a world that has been lost to us since Sin entered into the world. So to kick off 2013, we’re going to dive into Genesis 1-2. We’ll explore God’s original intentions for the world, and the implications for our new life in Jesus. After all, in the new year, it’s good to get the First Things First!
