In this powerful sermon, we begin the new series "Blessed to Be a Blessing" by exploring what it truly means to be blessed in God's eyes. Often, we associate blessings with money or material possessions, but God’s definition goes much deeper. It’s about the heart, generosity, and how we steward all that He has entrusted to us. We dive into the biblical perspective of blessing, looking at the Greek word Makarios, which signifies happiness, fulfillment, and divine favor. True blessing isn’t about what we accumulate; it’s about the way we give, share, and live generously with what we have. Jesus teaches us that blessing flows through us when we live with an open heart, extending grace, mercy, and love to others. In this message, Pastor Ryan Snow takes us through Deuteronomy 15, where God commands His people to live generously, cancel debts, and care for the poor. It’s not just about finances—it’s about developing a heart of generosity in all areas of life: our time, relationships, and resources. As we learn to give freely, we experience God's favor and blessing in everything we do. Key points include: The importance of having a generous heart. How to deal with selfishness and greed. The connection between gratitude and generosity. Understanding that generosity isn’t just financial—it’s relational, emotional, and spiritual. This sermon challenges us to rethink how we view blessings, encouraging us to become a conduit of God's generosity in the world. The more we give, the more we align with God’s heart and His Kingdom. Join us as we start this life-changing series on living a Blessed Life, where the heart of generosity transforms everything around us!
