Grace Giving (2 Corinthians 8:1–7)
Sadly, the subject of financial giving is often considered “controversial.” This is both harmful and needless because biblical giving is both a result and a revelation of God’s gospel grace. As Paul begins a two-chapter discourse on “giving and the church,” he grounds us in the biblical teaching of grace giving. He helps us to see that giving is a gospel issue. We will discover this under these headings: 1. Grace Experienced (vv. 1–2) 2. Grace Exemplified (vv. 3–5) 3. Grace Excelling (vv. 6–7)
Scripture References: 2 Corinthians 8:1-7
From Series: "2 Corinthians Exposition"
An exposition of 2 Corinthians by Doug Van Meter.
