In this first sermon of the series, we explore why the series is called "Radically Generous" rather than "Radical Generosity." We chose to use an adjective because it's about us being formed. What's more important than the money we give to God is our hearts that are offered to him. Our hearts are being formed by God and he's using money as a tangible tool for discipleship. Therefore, radical generosity isn't the goal; that's just the outcome. The real goal is radically generous people--radically generous hearts.

We wanted to look at this as a descriptor of who we are. An Adjective. Ultimately, this series isn't about money, or our behaviour, or our financial goals as an organization. This is about us, who we are, who we are becoming in Christ, and about who God is in our lives. "Radically Generous," first and foremost, describes who God is and therefore who we are called to be in him.

Let us establish a healthy relationship with money that helps us to shape a faithful relationship with God.
