Re-Member Devotions: Week 4, Day 3

Day Three: Membership Mark #4- Generosity

Read: Acts 11:29; II Corinthians 9:7

Reflect:

1)     According to Acts 11:29, the disciples (followers of Jesus) determined to do what?

a.     Give out of what was left at the end of the month

b.    Give only to what moved their heart

c.     Give to the need in Judea, each according to ability

d.    See what everyone else was giving then give (maybe)

2)   What is the biggest obstacle for you in living a generous life? Stop now and give God all your obstacles, fears, and concerns. Write down what God is doing in your heart.

3)    List below the blessings you have seen at Orange Friends as a result of obedient cheerful generosity of others or yourself:

To Memorize:

“You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. ‘For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.’”

II Corinthians 9:7 (ESV)
