May 8, 2022, Easter 4, Generosity 2: ”Looking Outward”

The church at Corinth was deeply divided. Some identified themselves by certain church leaders over Christ. Others used the Lord's Supper as an excuse to get drunk. Still others were entranced by flashy spiritual gifts like speaking in tongues, ignoring the humbler but more important gifts of faith, hope, and love. How does Paul encourage the Corinthians to look beyond their own desires to the needs of others? Pastor David preaches, "Looking Outward", based on 1 Corinthians 16:1-4 and Matthew 6:19-21. This sermon is the second in a four-week series for our Celebrating Generosity Campaign. This week's worship theme is "Giving Is Systematic".
