GIVE: Life's Greatest Joy

Generosity isn’t about what God wants from us—it’s about what God wants for us. In this message, Pastor Mark Garrett explores the joy and freedom that come when we trust God with what we have. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 9:7–8, we’re reminded that cheerful giving flows from a heart that knows everything belongs to God. The biggest shift in giving isn’t financial—it’s spiritual.

Through this practical and inspiring teaching, Pastor Mark helps us see that faithful managers multiply what God gives, while fearful ones bury it. Generosity isn’t random; it’s intentional. When we invest in what lasts forever, we stop giving just to “keep the lights on” and start giving to see lives changed. True joy isn’t found in having more—it’s found in holding less. Open hands live lighter, give freer, and rest deeper.
