Francis Chan: Are You More Like Zacchaeus or the Rich Young Ruler?

December 3, 2020 by Staff

(ChurchLeaders) If it is not easy for you to be generous with your money, says Francis Chan, the answer is not to make yourself give more. The answer is to turn to God’s generosity.

“You see, when you really understand who Jesus is,” said Chan in a sermon he gave on Nov. 7, “when you’ve really tasted,” you will not care about money. When you realize the creator of the universe wants to know you and dwell with you, God’s generosity will cause you to love giving what you can to bless others.

Speaking to Kong Fok Church in Hong Kong, Francis Chan shared that he was asked to preach about giving to the poor and caring for the needy. When he considered this topic, he was concerned that if he focused on asking people to give, the church members would comply because they are good at following rules. And that is not the picture of generosity that Scripture gives us.
