What does real generosity look like?
Not giving from what’s left over.
Not doing something nice to feel better about ourselves.
But willingly laying aside what we have every right to keep—for the sake of someone else.
In this message from Philippians 2:1–11, we explore the stunning generosity of Jesus—not a generosity of surplus, but a generosity of sacrifice. Jesus, fully God and equal with the Father, chose not to cling to His status, power, or privilege. Instead, He stepped into our broken world, embraced human weakness, and humbled Himself all the way to the cross.
This sermon invites you to see the gospel through a fresh lens:
Jesus didn’t give something—He gave Himself.
Whether you are new to faith, returning after a long time away, or simply searching for meaning, this message shows how the generosity of Jesus reshapes everything—our view of God, our understanding of love, and the way we live with others. You’ll discover why Christian generosity is not about earning God’s favor, but responding to grace already given.
We also explore how Jesus’ humility and obedience led to His exaltation, and how His self-giving love restores broken relationships with God. Finally, we look at practical ways His generosity can flow through our lives—our time, resources, relationships, and everyday choices—in ways that point others to hope in Christ.
If you’ve ever wondered what Jesus is really like, or why His life still changes people today, this message is for you.
