What comes to mind when you hear words like generosity, mission, or supporting ministry?

For some people, those words inspire gratitude. For others, they raise questions. Is generosity simply about giving more? Is mission about growing an organization? Or is there something deeper going on?

In this opening message from our series The Generosity of God, we look at the surprising story of how the church in Philippi began. Before this church became known for its partnership, generosity, and joy, God was already at work. He opened a door for the Gospel, opened a woman’s heart to receive it, and opened a life for His mission.

At the center of this story is a truth that changes everything: Christian generosity does not begin with what we give to God. It begins with what God has given to us.

Through Acts 16:6-15, we discover that generosity is not about earning God’s favor or sustaining an institution. It is the natural response of people who have experienced the overwhelming generosity of God in Jesus Christ.

Because before we open our lives to others, God opens His heart to us.
