November series: Jesus said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” (Acts 20:35, NIrV) However, sometimes generosity doesn’t come naturally to us. When we really enjoy the things we have, sometimes that makes it harder for us to be willing to share with others. But, with the help of God’s Spirit, we can learn that HOW we give is more important than even WHAT we give. It’s about our hearts.

Jesus showed us how to give.
Love in Action • 1 John 3:16-18
We close out the month in 1 John 3:16-18. John was writing to a group of believers to encourage them and remind them about Jesus’ love for them. John described how Jesus gave the greatest example of love when He gave His life for us. To love IS to give. Whether we give our time, our talent, or our things, we can show the love of Jesus when we give to those in need.
