The good news is that Jesus is still calling people to follow him, to become His disciples. We wrap up this series as we continue to explore what it means to be a disciple through abiding in God's Word.

Web browsers come equipped with a "refresh button". Clicking this button gives the user a "fresh" view of a webpage that incorporates past changes or updates. This is simple yet essential feature to realizing a website's full potential. As his disciples, Jesus makes it possible for us to "refresh" our lives so that we can reach our full potential. The apostle Paul gives us this advice out of his own experience... "I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:13-14). We begin 2012 by hitting the "refresh button".

Genuine encounters with Jesus have a way of revealing truth. Sunday we conclude our "Generous" series by looking at an encounter that Jesus has with the wealthy religious leader (Luke 18:18-27). The encounter revealed the truth about the man's lack of generosity while providing us with a framework for living a life of generosity.

Have you ever heard or used the statement, "A picture is worth a thousand words"? Most would agree this is a true statement and could even point to an area of our lives in which we have experienced it first hand. The Bible is full illustrations, word pictures, stories and models that help us define spiritual realities. Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 8 and 9 about a church that modeled an incredible spirit of generosity. This week we are going to explore what their example teaches us about being generous.

Generous: The Deceitfulness of Riches
Only one third of all church members in the US gives any financial support to his or her church. Some think this alarming trend is a result of the recent economic downturn. We don't have anything to give. Others say it is our greed. We bow at the altar of consumerism. Others think it is an educational issue. We have failed to teach our people about God's expectations on giving. While all of these are contributing factors, there may be another cause...fear. For many believers, cheerful giving has become fearful giving. We continue in the series "Generous" by exploring how fear robs us of the joy of generosity.
