Part 1 • Whose Is It Anyway?
Biblical generosity is informed and fueled by the acknowledgment that God owns it all. As Jesus made clear, the number one competitor for our devotion to God is our devotion to more. More money and more things.

Part 2 • How Do You Define It?
Jesus redefined generosity—not as spontaneous or sparing, but as intentional and prioritized. His approach ensures we don’t put our trust in riches but in God who richly provides. Choosing to follow his definition of generosity results in greater impact, less worry, more joy, and more peace.

Part 3 • What’s Your Plan?
Everyone has a generosity plan, but most prioritize spending first, leaving giving as an afterthought. Jesus flipped the script on that approach with “seek ye first” living. Embracing this financial template is a tangible expression of submission to our King.

Part 4 • What Gets in the Way?
All of us face obstacles to generosity. The common denominator for our obstacles is a desire for more. The apostle Paul taught that true wealth isn’t found in accumulation but in contentment. And he shows what it looks like to place our hope not in riches but in God who richly provides.

Part 5 • What Will You Do?
Before inviting Peter to follow him, Jesus asked Peter to “put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” After a night of fishing with no success and despite his reservations, Peter agreed: “But because you say so, I will let down the nets.” At some point, every Jesus follower will face their own “because you say so” moment. Like Peter, we won’t know what hangs in the balance of our decision. It’s better to find out than miss out.
