Whether you preach on generosity year round or in a particular season, the materials in this resource, developed in collaboration with the Center for Faith and Giving, can help. You’ll find four focus texts with exegetical commentary to prompt sermon preparation. Each text is accompanied by simple liturgical materials that can be adapted to use in your context. You could use these texts in a four-week sermon series, or you could return to them throughout the year. In addition, you’ll find a list of additional texts, with brief prompts, which you could use to inspire storytelling, Bible study, or further preaching ideas.

Living Generously is a Proclamation Project resource developed in partnership with the Center for Faith and Giving. Designed for Disciples preachers wherever generosity appears on the church calendar, it moves preparation from scripture to proclamation — grounding a congregation’s stewardship in biblical witness rather than institutional need. The exegetical commentary, liturgical materials, and additional sermon prompts work together as a complete homiletical toolkit, usable as a dedicated series or returned to throughout the year.
