The Book of ActsHow does generosity change us? In Acts 28, Paul and his shipwrecked companions are shown unusual kindness by the islanders of Malta, reminding us that generosity received in times of need often warms the heart and fosters gratitude. Paul responds by giving generously of his time and spiritual gifts, healing the sick and serving others, illustrating that true generosity moves outward in action. When generosity is given, it multiplies. When the people of Malta are blessed by Paul’s ministry, they supply the crew with everything they need to continue their journey. Generosity, whether received, given, or multiplied, transforms us by cultivating humility, love, and a greater reliance on God’s provision. This story challenges us to reflect Christ’s generosity in our lives, allowing His love to ripple through our acts of kindness to bless others abundantly. Please pray for Pastor Steve and the team as they prepare for the service. We are looking forward to what God is going to do this Sunday! For more infomation visit:
