Are You Ready?
In this final message of the Pocket Change series, Mark South preaches from 2 Corinthians 9:1-15 and asks whether the church is truly ready, not merely in desire but in prepared action, to participate in God's kingdom through generosity. Paul calls the Corinthians to let grace-awakened readiness become real commitment, to sow generously for the harvest of joy rather than financial return, and to give freely without reluctance, pressure, or compulsion. Mark emphasizes that God's grace provides sufficiency for the obedience he calls his people into, and that generosity is central to the mission of the gospel, supplying needs, overflowing in thanksgiving, glorifying God, and bearing witness to Christ's inexpressible gift.
