Today we are reading 1 Corinthians 8. In this chapter we read about the extreme generosity of the Corinthians in an offering taken to help the Judean Christians. “We want you to know, brothers, about the grace of God that has been given among the churches of Macedonia, for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part. For they gave according to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their means, of their own accord, begging us earnestly for the favor of taking part in the relief of the saints— and this, not as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then by the will of God to us.” 2 Corinthians 8:1-5 ESV How have you been the beneficiary of another person’s generosity? My wife was a single mom and she remembers how people helped her through that time. It gives her special joy to help others in need. Who is God putting on your heart to help today? Pastor Tim
