Summary

When God challenges us to live generously, His challenge is not primarily about money—it is about our hearts. In his new five-part series Living Generously, Dr. Michael Youssef challenges us to stop asking, “What’s in it for me?” and start asking, “How does God want to use me?” In this series, you’ll learn from a widow, a king, and a church whose love for God overflowed into giving—and you’ll see how the gracious love of God compels us to give of our time, our resources, and our talents: willingly, joyfully, and sacrificially.

0:00.0	Proverbs 18, verses 10, 11, and 12, the name of the Lord is a strong tower.
0:10.1	The righteous run to it and are safe.
0:14.1	Verse 11, the wealth of the rich is their fortified city.

1:54.7	250 times in the scripture. Then there is Eloh, the living God, the God who is to be worshipped and to be
2:03.7	adored and to be obeyed and to be trusted fully. Then there is Yahweh, or sometimes say
