Bible Text: 2 Corinthians 8:1-5 | Teacher: Rev. Brandon Blacksten | Series: A Matter of Life and Death | While it’s easy to see greed as a temptation only for the very rich, the desire for more affects all of us. Instead of accumulating as much as possible and holding on for dear life, though, Jesus teaches that generosity sets us free from greed and lets us live lives of blessing for others.
