This Sunday, we celebrated what God had done through the Build Your Church Generosity Initiative and reflected on the impact of a church committed to God, one another, and our community. We looked at Acts 2 and saw how the early church devoted themselves to a shared mission, creating awe through radical generosity and deep community. We were reminded that generosity is not just God’s fundraising strategy, but God’s formation strategy. Together, we considered what it meant to be “all in” and to offer what we had with open hands so God could build something greater than we imagined.

Sermon Notes
Check out some of the key takeaways from this past Sunday's sermon.
This week's scripture was Acts 2:42-47
This week's scripture was Acts 2:42-47
- Devoted commitment moves in a direction together. The Greek word behind "devoted" in Acts 2:42 carries the meaning of strong, steadfast, enduring movement toward a shared goal. Real commitment is not a one-time decision but a consistent leaning in toward God, toward the church, and toward one another.
- When we are all in, awe follows. Just as the early believers inspired wonder in those around them through their radical generosity and unity, a church fully committed to a common purpose creates something the world cannot help but notice. One Lego piece cannot build much, but when every piece comes together, the possibilities are extraordinary.
- Generosity forms us and multiplies beyond us. Every act of giving shapes us more into the likeness of Jesus, and God consistently takes what we offer and multiplies it far beyond what we could imagine.
