Generosity doesn't require wealth. It requires priorities. In this message from the Invitation to Joy series, Nick Vogel walks through Philippians 4:15-19, where Paul thanks one of the poorest churches he knew for being his most faithful supporters. From microwave hot dogs and a $9-an-hour ministry job to a nudge from the Holy Spirit in the middle of a training run, Nick shares how putting giving first changes the heart even when the circumstances stay the same.

Carrying each other's burdens costs us something, and that's exactly where we find the joy of giving and receiving.
