Generosity: The Myth
What would it look like for me to give in such a way that it changes me?
HOW to be generous...
Everyone gives. Everyone does not know how to be generous.
Generosity transcends random acts of giving.

The generous....
...give more
...save more
...consume less

Jesus says the generous are happier
Generosity is not our normal natural inclination
Normal or natural in our society is actually crazy
Generosity about the heart....Jesus wants our heart.

MYTH 1: GENEROSITY IS SPONTANEOUS
Generous people strategic in their giving

MYTH 2: GENEROSITY IS DETERMINED BY CASH FLOW
Generosity is built in, consistent and steady
Generosity is built in, consistent and steady
MYTH 3: IT’S THE AMOUNT THAT COUNTS
MYTH 4: RICH PEOPLE CAN BE GENEROUS
Rich people are rich and generous people are generous. No natural correlation between the two.
Rich people are rich and generous people are generous. No natural correlation between the two.
GENEROSITY IS PREMEDITATED - Have a plan
GENEROSITY IS CALCULATED - Have an amount
GENEROSITY IS DESIGNATED - Pre-determined where it will go

Blessed = happy
Blessed does not refer to a moment in time, but to a way of living
If you order your life around generosity, you will be happy
