The Key to Generosity
Generosity is a word we appreciate in abstract but run from in practice. Jesus tells us generosity isn't about the amount we give, but what it costs us. The Spirit makes us able to give generously, whether we're sharing money, time or resources. Generosity is how we imitate our generous God.

In a world increasingly divided and hopeless, even something as simple as respectful disagreement seems impossible. But the prophets who taught Israel how to long for the birth of the Messiah made bold promises: weapons formed into gardening tools; wolves and sheep living in harmony; deserts blooming. Such promises seem impossible – like pure imaginative fiction. But God’s promises aren’t fiction. They’re a future God is bringing into existence. Jesus birth proves God is with us, that God is working. We can have purified imaginations, see the world as it will be, and begin to work for that world now. What does it mean to be a people of Advent?
