Generosity Series: II Corinthians 9:10-11 “The Thankful Giver”
Pastor Larry Stephens
May 17th 2026
The reformers had a tenet that is helpful in regard to salvation, or anything pertaining to the Christian life, it is, Sola Deo Gloria, to the “glory of God Alone,” and that the only ambition we have is to bring Glory to God Alone. I. I. I.Express Open-Handed Giving: The Latin word provideo, from which we get our word providence, means “to see beforehand, a prior seeing, a foresight.” God’s providence is about Him being about the well-being of His people. In Romans 8:31, Paul writes, “What then shall we say to these things?” Paul asks, If God is for us, who can be against us, and who can separate us from the love of Christ? Will it be distress, peril, the sword, persecution, suffering, sickness, or human hostility that will undo you? None of the above. Open-handed generosity displays a heart that’s been touched and transformed by the gospel of Jesus—one that seeks to honor God by loving others just as He loves us. Often, open-handed generosity shows the world the powerful change the Gospel brings to our lives.
II. Will Be Enriched in Every Way (The Gospel Way): ways of enrichment for the generous are in 1Co 1:5 that in every way you were enriched in him in all speech and all knowledge. The redeemed will understand, even if the bank account isn’t overflowing and my possessions are few, the richness comes in knowing Christ as redeemer. That I am rich in that I possess the righteousness of Jesus, and nothing will wash that away.
Our Generosity: Reflects His character to others, showing His love and provision. Serves His purposes in the world, meeting needs and building His kingdom.
Our Blessing: Our reward is not in what we get in return, but in the blessing of being used by God to bless others.
Practical Application: Give from the heart, not out of guilt or obligation, but because you see God’s generosity in your life. Use generosity to reflect Christ’s love to those around you. Trust God’s timing and measure—He will use your giving in ways you may not see at the time.
In short, God uses our generosity to extend His grace, fulfill His purposes, and glorify Himself. It is not about what we give, but about how we give in response to His boundless generosity. The generosity of the cross.
