Proactive Generosity

Grace Comes Before Generosity

Authentic generosity comes from receiving the grace of God deeply. Rob West shares that everything we have (our time, talents, and treasure ) has been received from God’s hand. And because we've been blessed by the Lord it's our joy to be generous. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Neither Poverty Nor Riches

“Feed me with the food that is needful for me, lest I be full and deny you and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ or lest I be poor and steal and profane the name of my God.” Rob West shares from this prayer in Proverbs 30 that money can test the heart in every season.

The Vineyard Ahab Couldn’t Forget

Coveting tells us peace is one possession away. Rob West shares from the example of King Ahab in First Kings that coveting turns our eyes from God’s provision to someone else’s portion and blinds us to the truth that none of it belongs to us in the first place.

Riches Are More Fragile Than They Seem

Riches are far more fragile than they appear. From an example in the book of Lamentations Rob West reminds us that when our trust is rooted in God, we’re free to steward wealth wisely, hold possessions loosely, and face uncertain times with steady hearts.
