  • The Gospel's Greatest Hits: Generosity In Action - Pastor Christopher Coats

    The Gospel's Greatest Hits: Generosity In Action - Pastor Christopher Coats
    Sep 7 2025
    In 2 Corinthians 8, Paul highlights the churches of Macedonia as an example of radical generosity. Despite facing “severe affliction” and “extreme poverty,” their joy in Christ overflowed into a wealth of generosity. Their giving was not rooted in abundance, but in God’s grace. In fact, they begged Paul for the privilege of helping others, showing that true generosity doesn’t start with money but with surrender to God. Paul challenges the Corinthians, who were strong in faith, knowledge, and spiritual gifts, to also “excel in this grace of giving.” Generosity is a mark of spiritual maturity and an expression of the gospel. Just as Jesus gave everything for us, generosity reflects His sacrificial love. It reshapes our priorities by teaching us to trust God rather than our possessions. It redefines abundance by showing us that life does not consist in wealth, but in participating in God’s kingdom. And it renews our community, making the church magnetic to a watching world. The heart of gospel generosity is this: when we realize God has given us everything in Christ, we hold nothing back.

  • The Gospel's Greatest Hits: God of Comfort - Pastor Colby Rohde

    The Gospel's Greatest Hits: God of Comfort - Pastor Colby Rohde
    Aug 31 2025
    This week, we walked through Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 1; suffering is not wasted. God comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others in theirs. We saw that the Christian has two roles in suffering: first, to be a Reservoir, receiving God’s comfort when life hurts. And second, to be a Channel, allowing that comfort to flow through us to those around us. We explored the picture of the two seas in Israel: the Sea of Galilee (alive, because it both receives and gives) and the Dead Sea (lifeless, because it only takes in). In the same way, when we only take from God but never give, we grow stagnant. But when we pass along what God has given us, we become life-giving to others. God never called us to be hoarders; He called us to be healers. So the question is: are you holding on, or pouring out?
