Scoreboard: Generous

Have you ever stopped to think about why talking about money is
such a sensitive topic? Money is often the center for many of our
arguments, relational breakdowns, stress, frustrations, and
worries. It kinda makes sense seeing as how we spend a large
portion of our week and our lives working for it. We give up so
much time and effort to gain money that is is often something
that we hold very close to us and care much about. Money, or the
lack thereof, often determines what we can and can’t do in life
and what we can and can’t possess. But more than that, how we
choose to handle our money is one of the greatest reflections of
the priorities in our lives. And honestly, is often one of the
most brutal mirrors into what we really believe is important. In
this week of our series Scoreboard, we see from the Bible why
generosity is such an important marker in how we are doing
spiritually and how rearranging the priority of generosity in our
lives can allow us to grow deeper in our relationship with God.
