The Generosity Practice is orienting our hearts to the abundance mentality of Jesus. It is said that there are 500 verses on faith in the Bible. 500 verses on prayer. But, over 2,000 verses on Godʻs heart for The Poor.

Greed

The Generosity Practice is orienting our hearts to the abundance mentality of Jesus. The greed in all of us is why we need the Spiritual Practice of Generosity. Jesus warns us of this in Luke 10:15.

Giving

The Generosity Practice is orienting our hearts to the abundance mentality of Jesus. The Greek word for “blessed” is makarios which means happy. Translating the meaning behind Acts 20: 35 when Jesus was quoted as saying, “It is more blessed to give than to receive,” means that youʻre happier giving than receiving.

Reflection Sunday

The Service Practice invites us into a deeper way of thinking about serving others—one that goes far beyond duty, obligation, or simply “being helpful.” At its core, true service is rooted in love—and not just any kind of love, but agape love: the unconditional, sacrificial, expect-nothing-in-return love that flows from the heart of God Himself.

Hanai

In Hawaii we have a beautiful word, “hānai,” to mean someone considered family to us by taking on the responsibility to love, love, and care for them as a part of our family, beyond legal or blood bonds. This is the crux of the fourth movement of The Service Practice as acts of service best done up-close.

Interruptible

It has been mentioned that in the Gospel of Mark Jesus was interrupted over 30 times. And He used these interruptions to love and serve people. Are you interruptible like Jesus?

Everyday

I love this quote from Pastor Tyler Station, “Most of us are better at doing ʻprojectsʻ of love than becoming ʻpeopleʻ of love” because it succinctly captures this important concept of The Service Practice that Iʻm calling “Everyday.”
