Joyfully Generous

Aug 17, 2025    Jared Patrick

What does it mean to be joyfully generous? In Week 3 of our Formed In His Image series, Pastor Jared shows us how God’s generosity through Christ transforms our hearts to live open-handed lives of joy, peace, and abundance.


At The Bridge Fellowship, we believe that everyone is being formed by something—culture, money, fear, or faith. In this week’s message from 2 Corinthians 9, Pastor Jared reminds us that generosity isn’t just about money—it’s about our posture toward God and others. A generous life flows from understanding the greatest gift ever given: God’s Son, Jesus.


When we live joyfully generous lives, we step into the freedom and peace of God’s kingdom. Instead of clinging to our resources, we trust the One who provides all things. Generosity in our time, talent, and treasure doesn’t deplete us—it enriches us with deeper joy, lasting contentment, and a stronger love for God’s mission.
