The Grace God Has Given The Macedonians!

Generous Contribution!

1. Motivation for Generous Giving – It is not in man’s natural character to be generous. Generosity originates from God’s grace. Being generous in times of need is “bountiful grace”. (v2)

2. Principle of Generous Giving -“first they gave their own selves to the Lord”. The real giving must include the self. This is the principle of contribution. (v5)

Scripture of the Day (NT): II Corinthians 8

With a joyful heart, carry our new schoolbag of faith, wear our new shoes of hope, follow our class teacher – the spirit. Obey His teachings, learn the homework of this school term, new and fresh! – Sam KONG
