God Wants You to Stop Playing Small

A two-year update on the church's ten-year giving push, arguing that generosity starts with returning the first tenth, grows into giving from what is ours, and peaks in giving everything, because where the treasure goes the heart follows. The same call runs outward and downward at once: Jesus never told anyone to plateau.

What was preached

• Matthew 6:9–13
• Matthew 6:21
• Exodus 13:1–2
• Malachi 3:8–12
• Luke 8:1–3
• 1 Chronicles 29:1–9
• Mark 12:41–44
• 1 Corinthians 16:1–4
• 2 Corinthians 8:1–15
• Ephesians 2:1–10
• John 3:16–17
• Matthew 28:18–20
• Isaiah 54:2–3

• Why does Jesus put the storing of treasure before the turning of the heart?
• Why did the poor widow's two copper coins count for more than everything the wealthy put in?
• Why did the women who followed Jesus fund his ministry out of their own means?

   Am I Supposed to Quit My Job?
