Christian Giving — A Matter of the Heart. (2 Cor 9: 1-5)

EPISODE NOTES

 Summary:

In this episode, we open 2 Corinthians 9, where Paul begins to talk about generosity and giving in the Christian church. Using the Jerusalem collection as his example, Paul shows that money is not merely a practical matter — it’s a deeply spiritual one. Giving is not a business transaction, but a reflection of the heart.

 Key Themes:

 ·         The sensitivity of money in church life

 ·         The background of Paul’s collection for Jerusalem

 ·         Biblical principles behind Christian giving

 ·         The difference between manipulation and ministry

 ·         Why true generosity is rooted in love, not pressure

 Main Takeaway:

 Christian giving is not about campaigns or coercion — it’s about the overflow of love. When we give willingly, generously, and transparently, we reflect the grace of God Himself.
