FOUNDATIONS: Giving/ 2 Corinthians 9:6-11/ Pastor Jake

Описание: What does the Bible really teach about giving, generosity, and stewardship?
In this message, we explore Genesis 1 to uncover the four foundational things God did at creation—and how they reveal God’s heart for giving, blessing, and provision. From the very beginning, God models generosity, order, blessing, and trust, showing us that giving starts with God, not man.
We also dive into Genesis 1:28–30, where God blesses humanity and entrusts them with resources, responsibility, and purpose. This teaching connects creation to practical Christian living and answers the question: Why does God care so much about the heart behind our giving?
