(Mission Cast) Jesus Gives More To You So You Can Too (Proverbs 19:17; Luke 6:38)

Jeff reflects on the application of “lending to the poor” and “giving with good measure” with illustrations from a recent experience at a local eatery and a homeless person. (Picture of Fish Taco from “On the Alley” in Santa Barbara, CA) It was these two texts that motivated him to engage with a homeless person and share a meal with him, when he otherwise would have chosen not to engage. He also reflects on the example of his mother teaching him how to measure a “full cup” of brown sugar and the local butcher who always measured a full pound of ground beef with a few ounces more.
