Take this message with you through a journey of Scripture, reflection, and prayer.

Summary

In the conclusion of the Next Level series, Pastor Jared Moore shares that true kingdom generosity begins with recognizing that God has already blessed us far beyond what we realize. Jesus surrendered the riches of heaven to make us rich in every way so that we can be generous on every occasion. By committing to our local church family and aligning our resources with eternal impact, we experience true life and live on assignment for God.

Pastor's Points

1.

The Relationship Question: Who will I commit to relationally?

2.

The Difference Question: Will it make an eternal difference?

3.

The God Question: What would You have me do? (Living on Assignment)

Key Points

1.
Believers are often far wealthier than they realize, and shifting from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset helps us recognize God's blessings.
2.
Jesus left the riches of heaven and became poor so that through His sacrifice, believers could be enriched spiritually and in every area of life.
3.
God does not bless His people merely for self-indulgence, but so they can have more than enough to be generous on every occasion.
4.
Percentage giving and tithing serve as spiritual training wheels to cultivate intentional generosity before circumstances talk us out of giving.
5.
Generous sowing produces a generous harvest, whereas sowing sparingly limits what God can accomplish through our lives.
6.
Believers thrive spiritually when planted in a local church family, whereas isolated believers live like spiritual orphans.
7.
Earthly possessions will ultimately be tested by fire, and only what is done for God and people will endure into eternity.
8.
Living on assignment means continually opening your hands to God and asking Him who you can bless each day.

Sermon Moments

“God wants to bless you with more than you need so you can be a blessing.”

“Jesus left the splendor of heaven and became poor so that by His poverty He could make you rich in every way.”

“Complaining about having 'nothing to eat' in front of a full refrigerator shows how easily we overlook God's physical blessings.”

“A Christian without a church family is a spiritual orphan; you need a spiritual family where you can belong.”

“Earthly possessions will burn, but God and people endure forever—invest in what lasts.”

“Every number is a name, every name is a story, and every story is the reason why this church exists.”

“Living on assignment means walking through life with wide-open eyes asking, 'God, who can I bless today?'”

This Week

Begin percentage giving (tithing) as a foundational discipline to put generosity in motion in your personal finances.

Pray about how you can participate in the annual Make a Difference offering to support local and global outreach.

Shift your financial perspective from guilt to responsibility, recognizing that God entrusted you with resources to bless others.

Stop viewing church through consumerism; commit deeply to a local church family where you can plant roots and serve.

Evaluate your giving habits to ensure your financial stewardship is connected to work that makes an eternal difference.

Practice living on assignment this week by asking God, 'Who can I bless today?' whenever you go out.

Intentionally invite friends and neighbors to upcoming church events so they can encounter Jesus.

Remember This

God blesses us with more than we need not for self-indulgence, but so we can be made rich in every way and remain generous on every occasion.

A Challenge for You

Open up your hands before God and ask Him two simple questions: 'God, what would You have me do?' and 'God, who would You have me invite?'
