About this episode
Welcome to this week’s episode of Families Following Jesus.
In Season 1, as part of Queensland Baptists’ Fan the Flame series, we’re exploring the practices of the early church as we journey through the book of Acts together.
In episode 5, we're looking at Practice #5: Generosity.
What does it mean to live with open hands and hearts — ready to give because God gave first?
In this episode, we’re diving into what it means to live generously, just like the early church. They didn’t hold tightly to their possessions — they shared what they had so no one missed out. Even those with very little gave what they could. Why? Because they knew God had already given them everything in Jesus.
We’ll talk about:
- How generosity goes beyond money — it’s also our time, talents, and kindness
- A powerful story Jesus told about a widow who gave all she had
- Real-life examples from kids about giving and receiving generosity
- How your family can practise open-handed living this week
Let’s discover how living generously reflects God’s heart and shows others who He is!
