Impossible Math: How The Gospel Reframes our Giving, Week 5 - Giving and Joy 

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 9:1-11 

Speaker: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor of Oak Pointe Church  

So far in our Impossible Math series, the Apostle Paul has boldly asked the more wealthy gentile Christians in Corinth to prepare a collection for impoverished Jewish believers in Jerusalem. A big ask! The Corinthians seemed eager at first, but their enthusiasm has waned. To spur them on, Paul employs the example of the openhanded Macedonians and sends an advance delegation headed by Titus. But in case those are not motivation enough, Paul provides a further reason for making a generous gift, and it’s the best one yet!
