This episode is an exposition of Philippians 4:16–17, “Generosity Bears Spiritual Fruit,” from our Senior Executive Pastor, Dr. Ben Lovvorn. Paul is not using these verses as a strategy or gimmick to get the Philippians to increase their financial gifts. Instead, Paul has a genuine desire for the spiritual good of others. That same motivation drives us here at First Baptist Dallas. Giving is ultimately not about anything we want from you. True generosity leads to spiritual fruit now and in eternity—which is what we want for you!

Along these lines, we invite you to partner with us to support the mission of First Baptist Dallas, which includes creating biblical resources like this podcast by giving online here: firstdallas.org/fbdgive.

Dr. Ben Lovvorn serves as our Senior Executive Pastor. Nate Curtis is our Associate Executive Pastor. Andrew Bobo is our Associate Executive Pastor, Practical Theology.

We’re continuing through our Light of the World Series on Philippians 4. This episode is a follow-up discussion on verses 10-15 led by Dr. Ben Lovvorn. We’ll take a deeper look together at what generosity is. Generosity is a natural response to the gospel, enabling us to participate in God’s work in the world. Ben, Nate, and Andrew are joined by special guest Kevin Batista, our Minister to Students. The group discusses what this passage means for us at First Baptist Dallas, and Kevin shares stories of impact and life change.

Welcome to our December discipleship series—Light of the World. This episode is an exposition of Philippians 4:10-15, “Generosity is a Gospel Partnership,” from our Senior Executive Pastor, Dr. Ben Lovvorn. In this passage, Paul says that financial giving creates a “partnership” in the gospel. Why is that? And what does that mean? When the gospel takes root in our hearts, generosity flows out. We get to play a part in what God is doing, as He draws people to Himself and transforms their lives for eternity.
