About This SeriesDo you ever feel like what you have to offer isn’t enough to make a real difference? Sometimes what seems insignificant at first can actually become an Overflow. During this series, we'll explore generosity in a way that encourages giving to express the abundance of God's grace in our lives instead of obligation or religious doctrine. When we live out this model of generosity, our giving becomes an inspiration to those around us and shows how everyone has something to give.This Week's EpisodeEvery one of us needs to have a good answer to the question, "What am I living for?" And if Jesus was telling the truth when he said, "Where you treasure is, there will your heart be also," then our finances are a good indicator of what matters most to us. This week as we wrap up our generosity series, we'll take a look at a story Jesus told that teaches three important lessons that will help point us away from selfishness and toward generosity, and remind us that it is truly more blessed to give than to receive.Wondering what to do with what you've heard?- Experience community by joining a Life Group- Make a difference by joining a Serve Team- Support the ministry of First Christian Church by giving- Explore these and other steps to grow your faith on our Discipleship Pathway More Teaching ContentYou can follow along with this series by joining in this Sunday's services on-campus or streaming online at 9 and 11am this weekend.Follow @fcccanton on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to stay connected!Support the Show.
