Vineyard Church | Strength in Surrender: The Grace of Giving

2 Corinthians 8:1–5, 9:6–15 Paul reframes giving—not as guilt or obligation, but as grace, joy, and worship. Using the example of the Macedonian church, which gave generously despite deep poverty and hardship, Paul shows that true generosity flows from a surrendered heart, not from abundance. Giving isn’t about paying God back or meeting His needs; it’s about transforming us. When we hold loosely to what we have, our generosity multiplies joy, thanksgiving, trust, and impact. But when we cling tightly, scarcity takes root, multiplying fear and anxiety. Generosity is an act of love that patterns our lives after Jesus and plants a harvest for God to use.
