Surprised by Generosity Course

Surprised by Generosity - still from the video course

Surprised by Generosity is a new seven week course looking at God’s generosity to us and our call to live generously in return. It is based on the Gospel of Luke and features video reflections, interviews and a small group study guide.

During the seven weeks you are invited, together with your church community or family, to engage with this resource and explore how this message of generosity speaks to you today.  Each session will last approximately 1 hour and can be hosted both in person as well as online.

The materials are prepared by the Diocese of Exeter Mission Resources Advisor Brigit Kiyaga and written by contributors from across the diocese, including author and speaker Dave Hopwood.

“’Surprised by Generosity’ opens our eyes afresh both to all that God generously gives us in Jesus and to how we might live generously in return.  Practical, Biblical, challenging and professionally produced, it makes a great resource for churches, study groups and individuals who want to rediscover the God of surprises.”
