The Grace of Giving Pt. 1 "Grace Comes First" 9.6.26 Rev T Tromm

September 6, 2026 Generosity doesn’t begin with what we give—it begins with what God has already given us. In Part 1 of The Grace of Giving, we explore Paul’s teaching in 2 Corinthians 8 and the surprising generosity of the Macedonian churches. Their example reminds us that circumstances may affect our capacity to give, but grace shapes our willingness. Christian generosity is not rooted in guilt or obligation, but in the generous grace of Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us first. As grace takes hold of our hearts, it transforms not only how we use our resources, but how we offer our whole lives to God.
