Life Giving | Week 3: Living Your Best Life

Generosity is one of the fundamental messages taught at Gateway Church. In fact, moving from selfishness to a life of generosity is transformative to your finances as well as every area of your life. In Life Giving, a new series from Pastor Jimmy Evans, you’ll learn about the blessings that come with a life of generosity. This series will teach you that generosity doesn’t just bless those around you, it’s truly life giving to you as well. This weekend, Pastor Jimmy Evans continues the Life Giving series with a message titled “Living Your Best Life” where he shares the importance of giving God our best.

1. Is there any basis in Scripture beyond the story of Abraham and Isaac that proves God only releases His best when we give Him our best?
