The Economics of the Kingdom: The Grace of Giving

The Economics of the Kingdom: The Grace of Giving

Pastor Jack draws from 2 Corinthians 8 to conclude a three-part series on the Economics of the Kingdom, focusing on the grace of giving. He teaches that God's principles for giving are inverse to the world's mentality?that true abundance comes not from acquisition but from learning to give freely and trust God's provision. Pastor Jack connects the grace of giving to five spiritual dynamics: authority, joy, influence, life, and forgiveness, showing how Jesus linked financial stewardship directly to spiritual power and blessing.

The Economics of the Kingdom: The Principle

Pastor Jack draws from Malachi and the teaching of Jesus to address the often-avoided subject of tithing and giving. Convicted by the Lord to teach what God's people need to hear, he explains that the structure of the physical realm is such that disobedience in the spiritual realm disrupts it?and that tithing is a principle woven into the fabric of creation. Pastor Jack emphasizes that God's commands are not grievous but protective, and that learning to give opens us to the abundance God longs to release.

The Economics of the Kingdom: The Problem

Pastor Jack draws from 2 Corinthians 8 to launch a series on the economics of the kingdom of God. He addresses the difficulty of teaching on giving due to the history of religious abuse and charlatanism, but emphasizes that God's grace enables believers to give joyfully and freely. Pastor Jack grounds all giving in the redemptive work of Christ, who gave Himself so that we might be rich toward God, and calls the congregation to overcome fear and selfishness through the Holy Spirit's work.
