Does God owe us something when we’ve been faithful? What happens when we obey Him and life still hurts?

In Because He Gave, Pastor Nate Schaefer at Passion Church explores John 3:16, God’s grace, and the foundation of Christian generosity: God gave first.

Through Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus and His willing sacrifice on the cross, this message challenges us to stop treating giving as a transaction with God. We don’t give to earn His love, repay His sacrifice, or guarantee a life without suffering. We give because grace has made us free.

In this message, discover:

Why God’s generosity comes before our obedience.

Why faithfulness doesn’t guarantee a suffering-free life.

How control and past hurt can hold us back from generosity.

What it means to give our time, attention, hospitality, and resources.
