From Have-To to Get-To (Holy Habits 4 - Pastor Timothy)

922 Ministries - The CORE & St. Peter Lutheran

Discover the transformative power of joyful giving in this inspiring message on becoming a cheerful giver. Learn how to shift your perspective from seeing giving as an obligation to experiencing it as a joyful privilege. Based on 2 Corinthians 9:7, this message explores the Greek word 'hilaros' (the root of our English word 'hilarity') and how God desires us to give with genuine delight. Uncover the three keys to developing a cheerful giving attitude: understanding giving as a seed rather than a debt, adopting a 'triple P perspective' (Personal, Pensive, and Passionate giving), and embracing God's 'all-ability' to provide abundantly. This message challenges common misconceptions about generosity and reveals how God's economy works - where generosity multiplies capacity not to get more for ourselves, but to give more to others. Perfect for anyone struggling with mixed motivations in giving or seeking to experience more joy in their generosity. Whether you're a new believer or a seasoned Christian, this message offers practical wisdom for cultivating a heart that gives cheerfully. Discover how generosity creates a beautiful circle of joy and thanksgiving that brings glory to God.
