The Bible Project Daily Podcast The Grace of Giving (2 Corinthians 8: 8–15)
In this episode, we explore Paul’s teaching on generosity, drawn from his encouragement to the Corinthian church. Giving, Paul insists, is not about percentages or external rules — it’s about hearts touched by God’s grace.
We’ll uncover three timeless principles for Christian giving:
- Motivated by love — not guilt or duty, but gratitude for Christ’s grace.
- Regulated by willingness and ability — we give as we are able, joyfully.
- Generated by equality — God’s provision ensures that no one has too much and no one too little.
Along the way, we’ll hear modern illustrations of generosity, discover why methods like “tipping” and “tithing” miss the heart of the gospel, and be challenged to give from the bottom of our hearts, not just the top of our wallets.
This is a call not to percentages, but to participation in God’s grace.
