As we close out this season of gratitude, we come back to one central truth: God is generous.
We don’t give to earn God’s favor. We don’t serve to make ourselves important. We give because God gives first. We love because God loves first.
We are stewards of grace, not just finances. And when grace overflows in us, it overflows into our community. Into the work of justice. Into shared meals, open tables, and generous worship.
Bethel is a place where that kind of grace is visible: in the way we give, serve, and welcome.
Reflection
- Where has God’s grace overflowed in my life this year?
- How might I carry that grace forward in the ways I give?
You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion…
2 Corinthians 9:11

This is the final post of the series. Thank you for journeying with us to consider what it means to be a Grateful People who are Living Thanks Together. If you’ve missed any of the previous posts, you can find them here:
