Conduits of Kingdom Blessing

2 Corinthians 9:6-15

We give as a response to the and that we have received from God.

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

2 Corinthians 8:9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.

  1. The Principle of and : (v. 6)

2 Corinthians 9:6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.

Giving often makes financially, but it makes complete by faith.

  1. Giving as a Act of the Heart (v. 7)

2 Corinthians 9:7 Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

  1. God’s Abundant : (vv. 8-11)

2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 9 As it is written: “He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever.” 10 Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion,

2 Corinthians 9 isn’t prosperity theology. It’s theology:

• God gives to givers so they can . • He supplies for those who to others. • He is generous to people so that they can be to others on every occasion.

  1. Generosity God and His People (vv. 12–15)

Generosity brings to God: (vv.11-12)

…and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God. 12 This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.

Generosity the gospel and brings God : (v. 13)

13 Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, men will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else.

Matthew 5:6 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. Generosity Creates Mutual Love (v. 14-15)

14 And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you. 15 Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!

A New Testament Pattern for Giving

  1. Giving is regular and : planned, proportionate, and consistent. (1 Corinthians 16:2; 1 Timothy 6:17–19)

  2. Giving reflects the of Christ: rooted in His self-giving grace. (2 Corinthians 8:9)

  3. Giving the power of materialism and selfishness: not putting our hope in wealth but storing up treasure in the coming age. (1 Timothy 6:17–19)

  4. Giving advances the and the ministry of the church: providing for pastors, teachers, and missionaries, supporting ministry and the spread of God’s Word (Galatians 6:6; 1 Timothy 5:17–18; Philippians 4:15–19; 2 Corinthians 9:12–13)

  5. Giving meets the of God’s people: caring for believers locally and globally (Acts 2:44–45; 4:34–35; 2 Corinthians 9:12–13)

  6. Giving meets the the poor: remembering and caring for the vulnerable (Galatians 2:10; Acts 11:27–30)
