The Greater Blessing: Circle

June 29, 2024 • Kessia Reyne Bennett • 2 Corinthians 8—9

There is a saying that 'You can’t out-give God,' and I’ve found that to be true in my own life. And as I’ve reflected on it, our very lives are held in the generosity of God. There’s room now for all of us at his abundant table.

The Greater Blessing: Needed

The fastest way to learn how much you depend on any body part is to injure it. You learn rather suddenly that one ligament, muscle, or bone has a crucial participant your everyday activities! So it is with each of us in the church. We each are a crucial participant in the life of this Body of Christ. Each one, no matter their size or talent, has something the rest of us need.

The Greater Blessing: Gifts

Our Lord Jesus said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35), but . . . Why?

The Greater Blessing: Enough

June 8, 2024 • Kessia Reyne Bennett • Philippians 4:10–18, Acts 20:35, Luke 10:25–37

Generosity is a hallmark of God’s character (and is fruit of the Spirit!), so why don’t more God-believers live with more generosity? We know that what God puts in our hands he put there for us to share, so . . . why don’t more people share more of what they have? Let’s explore this question and we’ll find not only the problem, but the secret that opens us up to true contentment.
