Generous Hearts: Forgiveness & Mercy

Rev. Dan Alger
Written By The Very Rev. Canon Dr. Dan Alger

Psalm 103:1-14

Eph. 4:25-32

Matt. 18:23-35

About the Series:

What does it mean to be generous? Often we mainly think about money, but what if it’s more than that? Further, how might the Gospel of Jesus help us understand what it means to be generous people? The story God is telling is one of radical generosity, from the garden to Jesus, to the new heaven and new earth. Our God is abundantly generous with his creation. The story God invites us to participate in is one in which we experience generosity from God and extend generosity to others. It affects everything: our time, energy, finances, and resources. This series is meant to help us begin to explore the way God invites us into a profound story of generosity.

The stories herein paint us a lavish picture of how being generous has so much more to do than just giving money. It affects our relationships, hospitality, mission, ministry, and how we use power.

We hope that this series awakens a profound desire to be a generous people reflecting on our generous God.
