We Dream | A Church That Multiplies Its Impact
A Church That Multiplies Its Impact Scripture: Philippians 4:14–20 Runtime: ~5 min On the last day of the last week of We Dream, we see one very practical way the Philippians lived out their partnership with Paul: they gave, again and again, even when he was in prison. And Paul's response to their generosity reframes what giving actually is — not a transaction, but an act of worship. In this episode: Why Paul, even as a prisoner, is more concerned with the blessing the Philippians' giving brings to them than with what he receives Paul's description of their gift as "a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice pleasing to God" — generosity as worship, not just support How this closes the loop on the whole We Dream series: authentic worshipers, faithful followers, people of love, and a sent church are all one connected picture The promise that closes the letter — "My God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus" — and what it means that the gospel keeps moving as God's people give Reflection: Paul says what we give away is credited to us, not lost. Is there something — time, money, talent — you struggle to give away? What's been your biggest takeaway from the We Dream series, and where do you feel the Spirit guiding you to work?
