“Generosity was one of the most distinguishing features of first-century Christians. I believe God desires to make us these kinds of people again....”

The first-century believers lived differently because they saw something different in Jesus’ life. They watched Jesus pour his life out for others. Day after day Jesus gave his life away preaching, teaching, and healing.

They heard Jesus say, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” (Acts 20:35) They learned that the real connection between money and happiness, is not having, it’s giving. To the first-century church, radical generosity was normal Christianity.
