Weak Made Strong: Generosity Because of Grace

2 CORINTHIANS 7:5-10

2 CORINTHIANS 8:1-3  2 CORINTHIANS 8:4-5  2 CORINTHIANS 8:10-12

1. GENEROSITY IS FUELED BY GOD’S GREAT GRACE TOWARD US.If OT law required 10% giving, what would grace ask?

2. IN THE LAW OF THE HARVEST, GIVING IS MULTIPLIED TO OTHERS AND YOU2 CORINTHIANS 8:15, 2 CORINTHIANS 9:6-11

PROVERBS 3:9 Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of what you produce; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.  PROV 11:24 One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.  When you give, it is given to you.

Malachi 3:10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in My Temple. Test Me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.

Luke 6:38  Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
