True Generosity Isn’t A Burden

July 12, 2026

Do you ever feel like giving is just another religious obligation? We often cling tightly to our resources because we fear we might not have enough. However, true generosity is actually a joyful celebration of God’s incredible blessings. In this message from Deuteronomy 14, we discover how freely sharing our gifts completely transforms our hearts. Turn your scarcity mindset into generous gratitude God’s abundant love!
