About this listen

What happens when generosity moves beyond duty? In this message, Dr. Mims unpacks the beauty of freewill giving—a kind of generosity that flows from the heart, not obligation. Using Paul’s words to the Corinthians, he explores how God multiplies what we freely give and how cheerful, faith-filled generosity draws us closer to Him.
