In Week 2 of The Lord’s & The Leftovers, we move beyond the question of what we give and focus on why we give—or why we hold on. This message explores how generosity is shaped by trust and motivation rather than pressure or obligation. Looking at Scripture, we see that giving is not meant to be a transaction with God, but a formative practice that helps align our hearts with His. When generosity flows from gratitude and trust, it becomes a way of participating in what God is already doing.

Questions for Reflection
• When you think about giving, what emotions or motivations tend to rise first—trust, fear, gratitude, or control?
• How might viewing generosity as spiritual formation, rather than obligation, change the way you respond to God?
