Contagious Generosity - wk1

"Offering" - Genesis 4:1-7

This morning we are starting a two-part sermon series on contagious generosity ... putting the needs of God’s kingdom and other people on par with our own needs. Notice that contagious generosity does not mean putting those needs ahead of our own, though some obtain that level of generosity. Contagious generosity starts small and grows. We find the key to contagious generosity in the story of Cain and Abel. Cain and Abel both gave an offering - but one pleased God and the other walked away from God in anger. From Cain and Abel we learn that generosity reflects the heart of God ... greed is a disease of the flesh.
