Do you ever feel like you don't have enough money, time, or energy to be generous?
What if generosity isn't about how much you have, but about how you choose to live with what God has given you?
In Week 5 of our Enough series, "The Whole Thing," we explore how generosity reveals our priorities, how mature love expresses itself through action, and how Jesus' generosity becomes the pattern for our own lives.
Through 2 Corinthians 8:1–9, we discover that generosity isn't reserved for people who have more than enough. The early church demonstrated that even in difficult circumstances, God's grace makes joyful generosity possible.
Simplicity creates room for generosity. And generosity is one way we participate in what God is doing in the world.
IN THIS MESSAGE:
Why generosity isn't dependent on abundance
How our priorities shape our capacity to give
What the early church teaches us about generosity
Why mature love is generous
How Jesus models sacrificial generosity
What it means to live as people made new by God's grace
THREE QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER:
What place does generosity have in how my life is ordered?
Where is love for others visible in my life?
What does Christ's generosity change about the way I understand my life?
Generosity isn't something we do to earn God's love. It's how we learn to live because we've already been loved, reconciled, and made new through Jesus.

The Available Thing | Enough (Week 4)
What if living generously isn't about having more, but about making room for what God has already provided?
We often think generosity requires extra time, money, or energy. But what if the real obstacle isn't how much we have, but how much of our lives is already consumed?
In Week 4 of Enough, we explore the connection between simplicity and generosity through 2 Corinthians 9:6–11.
God doesn't call us to give out of guilt or obligation. Instead, He invites us to experience the freedom of generosity—trusting His provision and making ourselves available to meet the needs of others.
When we simplify our lives, we create margin. And that margin gives us the freedom to respond when opportunities to love and serve others arise.
Together, we'll consider three important questions:
What do I have that someone else needs?
What would it cost me to meet that need?
What does "enough" look like?
Generosity isn't just about money. It's about recognizing the time, resources, abilities, and opportunities God has entrusted to us—and choosing to use them to make a difference.
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 9:6–11; 2 Corinthians 8:1–3

The Heavy Thing | Enough #3
What if the things weighing you down aren't necessarily bad things?
Life is full of good responsibilities, meaningful opportunities, and expectations. But when we try to carry everything, even good things can leave us exhausted, distracted, and overwhelmed.
In Matthew 11:28–30, Jesus invites those who are weary and burdened to come to Him and find rest. But His invitation isn't simply to escape responsibility. It's to learn a different way of living—one shaped by humility, simplicity, and the freedom to recognize our God-given limitations.
In Week 3 of Enough, we explore the difference between the responsibilities Jesus calls us to carry and the unnecessary weight we place on ourselves.
Through Hebrews 12:1–2, we're reminded that not everything weighing us down is sinful. Sometimes even good things can keep us from faithfully running the race God has given us.
What if finding rest isn't about having less responsibility, but learning to carry only what Jesus has given us?
Together, we'll discover how following Jesus frees us from the pressure to do everything, please everyone, and prove ourselves—and how accepting our limitations allows us to live with greater peace and purpose.
Scripture: Matthew 11:28–30; Hebrews 12:1–2; 1 Corinthians 10:23
