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.
