TOPIC: GENEROSITY
BIBLE PASSAGE: Matthew 25:35-40
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
MEMORY VERSE:
“But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.” Hebrews 13:16
LESSON INTRODUCTION
Generosity is an aspect of God’s character. It is an attractive quality we need to cultivate as God’s children. The opposite of generosity is selfishness, self-centeredness, greed and self-importance. Generosity goes beyond giving money; it also includes offering our time, talents, and resources to meet the needs of others. Generosity has many biblical sources and is related to kindness and goodness, a fruit of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23; Proverbs 22:9).
LESSON OUTLINE 1: REASONS FOR BEING GENEROUS
A. God is generous: God, in His unfathomable love, gave humanity His most precious gift, His Son Jesus Christ, for our redemption. It is expedient that we demonstrate this nature (John 3:16; Romans 5:7-8).
B. A proof of love: Sharing our substance with others is a practical proof of our love for them (1 John 3:17-18).
C. It enlarges God’s kingdom: Generosity fuels evangelism, missions and church growth (Acts 2:44-47). Like the Philippians, we must constantly support Kingdom projects (Philippians 4:15-17).
D. It produces blessings: A cheerful giver never lacks (Proverbs 11:25; 2 Corinthians 9:6-8).
E. Generosity is all-encompassing: Giving flows from a heart that is always willing to share. It includes offering our time, talents, and resources to meet the needs of others (Galatians 6:2; 1 Thessalonians 5:14).
CLASS ACTIVITY 1:
Students should discuss why some believers find it difficult to be generous.
LESSON OUTLINE 2: DEVELOP A GENEROUS HEART
To grow a generous heart, believers must:
A. Be Selfless: As believers, we must not be selfish (Philippians 2:3).
B. Give Cheerfully: Giving cheerfully is proof of a generous heart (2 Corinthians 9:7).
C. Remember the Source: We must remember that God is our source and the one who makes it possible to get all that we have (1 Corinthians 4:7; James 1:17).
D. Be Compassionate and Empathetic: Find out what is missing and go all out to meet the need (2 Kings 4:11-17). Leave everyone better than you met them (Luke 10:33-35).
E. Listen to the Holy Spirit: Do not ignore, argue or doubt what the Spirit of God is leading you to do (Acts 10:9-16). Be sensitive to obey.
CLASS ACTIVITY 2:
Students should share testimonies of how generosity has blessed them or others.
