GENEROSITY

“Reckless Generosity”

Being “reckless” is generally not considered a good trait, but there are times when being “reckless” is not only needed but also considered a noble thing!  This morning we’re going to consider “Reckless Generosity”.  Luke 10:25-37

• Helping total strangers – Luke 10:30-33;  Deuteronomy 10:17-19;  Galatians 6:10

• Giving extravagantly – Luke 10:33-35;  Acts 2:44-48;  4:34-37;  2 Corinthians 8:1-4
