Sermons in This Series
Acts 20:35
The Bigger Blessing
March 1, 2026
The March generosity series opens by redefining blessing through Acts 20:35. Receiving is good, but the bigger blessing comes when believers live generously enough to support the weak, cover others, and make room for God's fuller activity in their lives.
Acts 20:32-35
Grace That Gives
March 8, 2026
This sermon presents grace as active power, not sentimental language. In Acts 20 and 2 Corinthians 9, Bishop Hill shows that grace should make believers determined, disciplined, cheerful, and generous in every part of life, not only in money.
Hebrews 13:5-6, 15-16
A Life That Pleases God
March 15, 2026
Week 4 of “The Generous Life” teaches that a life that pleases God isn’t performative or occasional; it’s generosity as a lifestyle. From Hebrews 13, the speaker calls the church to live with contentment (not loving money), to trust God’s presence (“I will never fail you”), and to practice sacrificial generosity—doing good, sharing with those in need, and offering continual praise as worship.
Matthew 18
Generous Enough To Forgive
March 22, 2026
The generosity theme reaches its sharpest personal application here. In Matthew 18, forgiveness is framed as a form of release: releasing offense, releasing the demand for repayment, and refusing to keep yourself imprisoned by someone else’s debt.
