The Power of Generosity

This year at Hope Presbyterian, we have been stepping boldly into what we’re calling the Year of Radical Release, an echo of the year of Jubilee. Inspired by Jesus' declaration in Luke 4:18–19, this is a season where the chains fall off, burdens lift, and God’s kingdom breaks through in real and transforming ways. In biblical Jubilee, debts were forgiven, people were restored, and entire communities flourished. It was never just personal; it was profoundly communal. And the outcome of that communal flourishing is this: we are called to live generously.

In 2025, God is inviting us to live open-handed, freely receiving and freely giving. We are invited to walk in the fullness of Christ’s freedom and reflect His heart through generosity. Generosity is not just about money, it is a lifestyle of radical release: offering our time, energy, resources, grace, and forgiveness. Every act of generosity is discipleship in action. It is God’s kingdom expressed through His people. Generosity is Spirit empowered participation in God’s Kingdom.

Jesus has released us from sin, selfishness, and scarcity thinking. Now, He invites us to participate in His mission by reflecting His abundant heart to others. Just as Jubilee released a community into flourishing, we believe generosity, sacrificial, Spirit-led, joyful generosity, will unlock breakthrough for us, for our city, and beyond. This is a season not just of freedom for us, but freedom through us. As we open our hands, we will see God multiply what we give, bringing hope, life, and flourishing wherever He leads. The year of the Lord’s favour is not just coming. It is here.

For this series, our Growth Groups will work through “The Generosity Practice” by John Mark Comer.
