Living Generously Part Four
Living Generously 
 “Hold faithfulness and sincerity as first principles.” 
Confucius 
 “The first question which the priest and the Levite asked 
was: ‘If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?’ 
But the good Samaritan reversed the question: ‘If I do 
not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?’ ” 
Martin Luther King Jr. 
 “One of the principal rules of religion is, to lose no 
occasion of serving God. And, since He is invisible to our 
eyes, we are to serve Him in our neighbor; which He 
receives as if done to Himself in person, standing visibly 
before us.” 
John Wesley
- 2 Corinthians 8: 1 – 4 
1. Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of 
God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia: 
2. that in 1a great trial of affliction the abundance of their 
joy and their deep poverty abounded in the riches of their 
liberality. 
3. For I bear witness that 2according to their ability, yes, and 
beyond their ability, they were 3freely willing, 
4. imploring us with much urgency that we would receive 
the gift and the fellowship of the ministering to the saints 
1. The Pattern of Sacrificial Giving 
2. The Pattern of Abundant Giving 
3. The Pattern of Freely Giving
- 2 Corinthians 8: 8 – 9 
8. I speak not by commandment, but 1I am testing the 
sincerity of your love by the 2diligence of others. 
9. For you know the grace of our 3Lord Jesus Christ, that 
though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, 
that you through His poverty might become rich. 
1. Giving is not a matter of commandment but a 
matter of love. 
2. If others can give, so can you! 
3. Jesus is the ultimate example of giving – He gave 
all so that others could have all.
- 2 Corinthians 8: 10 – 12 
10. And in this I give advice: It is to your advantage not only 
to be doing what you began and were desiring to do a 
year ago; 
11. but now you also must 1complete the doing of it; that as 
there was a readiness to desire it, so there also may be a 
completion out of what you have. 
12. For if there is 2first a willing mind, it is 3accepted 
according to what one has, and not according to what he 
does not have. 
1. Giving must go beyond thinking and move on to 
doing. 
2. Giving must come from a willing mind. 
3. There are no excuses when it comes to giving.
Luke 4: 18 – 19 
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, 
Because He has anointed Me 
To preach the gospel to the poor; 
He has sent Me to heal the 
brokenhearted, 
To proclaim liberty to the captives 
And recovery of sight to the blind, 
To set at liberty those who are 
oppressed; 
To proclaim the acceptable year of the 
Lord.” 
Matthew 25: 37 – 40 
“Then the righteous will answer Him, 
saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You 
hungry and feed You, or thirsty and 
give You drink? When did we see You 
a stranger and take You in, or naked 
and clothe You? Or when did we see 
You sick, or in prison, and come to 
You?’ And the King will answer and 
say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, 
inasmuch as you did it to one of the 
least of these My brethren, you did it 
to Me.’
