Episode Notes:

Let me start with a question that sounds a little uncomfortable, maybe even a little unspiritual:

What do I get when I give?

When we talk about giving to the Lord's work, we're usually quick to focus on what others receive. A missionary is helped. A ministry moves forward. A need is met. But have you ever stopped to ask what happens to the giver?

At first glance, the answer seems obvious. If I give money away, I have less money than I had before. My pocket is a little emptier. So why give at all? Is giving simply about doing the right thing? Is it about the satisfaction of helping others? Or does God have something deeper in mind?

In Philippians 4:10-20, Paul thanks the believers in Philippi for a financial gift they sent while he was under house arrest in Rome. But as he does, he reveals something remarkable. He shows us that generosity is not merely a blessing to the receiver. It is also a blessing to the giver.

So, as we conclude this season together, let's explore a surprising question:

Is it really better to give than to receive?
