A message from the series "Generous." Generous: Living a Giving Lifestyle
Proverbs 3:9-10

Big Idea: What we give first reveals what we trust most.

God doesn’t need us to give. What does it look like to honor God with what comes first, not from what’s left over? Left over giving isn’t usually intentional, but it’s always revealing.

First Fruit Giving:
1. First fruits is about honor and trust. God loves us for giving faithfully, not for giving more. (Matthew 6:21) Generosity is not about money, it’s about the heart.

2. First fruits means first, not leftover. First fruits requires faith, not abundance. First fruits is not emotional generosity, it’s intentional trust. (Genesis 4:4) Do you give like Cain, or do you give like Abel?

3. First fruits is not a prosperity promise. Trust God first, and He will prove Himself to you over time. Sometimes, His blessings are provisional. God promises faithfulness, not financial stability. (Romans 8:32; 1 Corinthians 15:20).

How is God speaking to you right now about His First Fruits principle? Does your heart dictate how much you give, or is it just another expense? Do you give out of trust, or do you give out of obligation?

Matthew 11:28-30

Goal: To grow spiritually in your relationship with God.
Foundation: Rest in Jesus

What do you need to remove? Example; wasting time in idle behavior.

Prioritize God throughout each day, not just for one hour on Sunday. Stop doing “for God”, and start being “with God” ( Martha vs Mary complex).
Psalm 37: 1-7; Spend time in prayer and the Bible. Be intentional in your spiritual growth.
Col 3:17

Reorient your perspective in your daily life. Start making a valid effort to go to God throughout your day when making decisions and undertaking tasks.

Question - How will you prioritize God and rest in Jesus on a daily basis?
