Generosity Shapes Perspective

The Generous Life

Pastor Jerry Gillis - October 19, 2025

Community Group Study Notes

  1. Have someone in your group give a brief recap of Sunday’s message, highlighting the primary Scripture points and the main idea of the message.
  2. How did this message strengthen and/or correct your previous ideas about generosity and perspective? Was there anything you heard for the first time or that caught your attention, challenged, or confused you? Did you learn anything new about God or yourself this week?
  3. Which of the perspectives from David’s prayer—of God, of ourselves, of life, of integrity, or of the future—stood out to you most? Why?
  4. How does seeing God as a God of abundance rather than scarcity affect your trust in Him and your willingness to give?
  5. In what ways have you seen generosity shape your perspective—or your perspective shape your generosity?
  6. What action step do you need to take in response to this week’s message? How can your group hold you accountable to this step?

 

Action Step

  1.  This week, intentionally practice generosity in one tangible way—financially, with your time, or through encouragement—and ask God to deepen your trust in His abundance.
     
  2. Take time in prayer to declare, “It’s all Yours, God,” and evaluate one area of your life where you’ve been acting like the owner instead of the steward. Invite God to reshape your perspective.
