The Generous Life (Attitude)
Feb 15, 2026 • Cornell Jordan
The church is called to wake up and become God's instruments of change in their communities rather
than sleeping through crises while praying for miracles. Drawing from Peter and John's encounter with
the lame beggar in Acts 3, we learn that generosity isn't about having much, but about giving what we
do have. Our biblical mandate is clear: to be like Jesus, going around doing good and serving others.
True Christianity is tested by whether we were Jesus to somebody else, moving from being palms up
people who always receive to palms down people who release God's nature to those around us. Even
small churches can make massive impacts when moved by faith and collective generosity.
