In this episode of Know & Do, we explore the foundation of Christian generosity by asking a simple but profound question: What has God given us? Scripture teaches that generosity is not merely a moral duty—it is a communicable attribute of God himself. Because God is generous by nature, and because he has given abundantly to us, we are able—and called—to give in return.

This episode expands on the sermon “What Could We Ever Give God?” by examining the many gifts God has given humanity, both in creation and in redemption. Understanding these gifts reshapes how we receive from God, praise him, and live generously toward others.
