Niceville Campus eLetter
From our Lead Pastor
Sunday's “Am I Generous?” message was the second message in our three-week Kingdom Builders series. Due to daylight savings time, the storm, and travel, I know many couldn’t make it on Sunday, and I’m telling you that this was one of the best messages on generosity I’ve ever heard in my life, and I’ve heard a lot! (I can say that because I didn’t preach it.)
Do yourself a spiritual favor and check it out HERE. I’m telling you, you won’t regret it!
In the message, we learned three things about generous people. First, generous people give willingly. They don’t give out of guilt or manipulation; they give from a heart willing to give whenever, wherever, and to whatever God calls them to give. Second, generous people give proportionately. The more God blesses us, the more we give, with a tithe or 10% being our first goal but not our destination. That is why the third thing generous people do is give sacrificially. They choose to give up things that are not necessities to make a more significant impact for the Kingdom of God.
So, are you truly generous?
Take time to listen to the message again, ask God what he would have you give, and plan how to obediently do what He is telling you to do. When you decide, we would love for you to share your response with us by completing a Giving Response Card HERE.
Choosing generosity,
Jeremy Smith, Lead Pastor

MARCH 16 | THE JOURNEY OF GENEROSITY
"KINGDOM BUILDERS"
Focusing on becoming a people who are willing to do whatever it takes to build God’s Kingdom. We tend to hold tightly to the things that matter most. Soon, the fear of losing them can make me feel like a heavyweight. What if you could trade fear for trust that God will provide More Than Enough and help build His Kingdom with all you are and have? Let’s learn how in our new series.
