Upside Down View of Generosity
03/20/2021 - Dave Riddle
Key Passage: Mark 12:41-44
Oikonomics: The economy of God’s household. The way our family on mission invests it’s available resources in and for the family of God.
Five Capitals:
Spiritual Capital is about the depth of our relationship with God as a follower of Jesus, producing a spiritual equity that we invest in others.
Relational Capital refers to the quantity and quality of our relationships which produces a relational equity we have to invest.
Physical Capital is all about our ability to devote time and energy to both people and tasks. It includes the time we make available and the capacity we have to use that time.
Intellectual Capital refers to our capacity to think and reason, to use our minds as something to invest as part of God’s family on mission. Ideas and knowledge.
Financial Capital is perhaps the capital that we are most familiar with. Money. Treasure.
Generous: showing a readiness to give more of something than is strictly necessary or even expected.
