GIVING IS SACRIFICE

Passage: Luke 14:1-14

Speaker: Pastor Matt Douglas

Series: Generous Life

Category: Giving Series

Giving automatically involves sacrifice. In today’s Gospel reading, we see a man sit in the lowest place in order to better others. This is done not to better himself or to gain praise and status. Rather, it was done out of love for his neighbors, wanting them to have a better seat of honor. Yes, giving involves sacrifice, but giving is done through faith with joy. Loving God and loving our neighbors is part of our new identity in Christ through Baptism.
