Lead With Love

In a world shaped by scarcity, we are led to suspicion, exclusivity, immediacy, and fear. The church is called to show up and live differently—to lead with love. This series explores how generosity and the faithful stewardship of our capital at Floris compel us to lean into what makes our hearts beat, and embody God’s vision of abundance and belonging. Together, we’ll reflect on how our resources, our commitments, and our shared investments widen compassion, cultivate inclusivity, nurture future generations, and foster peace with justice. God has entrusted us with pouring out God’s good gifts so that when we lead with love, every act of stewardship becomes a courageous step towards God’s healing and transformative work in the world.

January 18 | Generosity in Doing Justice (and Intro to Series) | Amos 5:21-24, James 2:14-17

Generosity divorced from justice is empty. God desires a generosity that flows into fairness, dignity, and systemic compassion. Do we live out our faith that works for a justice that meets the world’s cries? How might our financial generosity at Floris make love visible through equity for the invisible and oppressed?

January 25 | Generosity in Creating Inclusive Belonging (One Church 4 All) | Ezekiel 47:21-23, Galatians 3:27-29

Generosity is relational and inclusive, for it honors different gifts, different cultures, welcomes strangers, and fosters unity through love. God’s generosity breaks down the barriers of race, gender, culture, and class to form an inclusive household of God. How might our financial stewardship and generosity help us lean into our passion here at Floris for bringing down the walls that separate us from one another?

Lead With Love Devotional - Week 2

February 1 | Generosity in Extending Compassion (Missional Service) | Deuteronomy 15:7-11, Matthew 25:34-40

True generosity, especially to “the least,” which is service to Christ Himself, begins with a compassionate heart and open hands that reflects God’s own generosity. How might our financial stewardship and generosity help us continue to show up with our passion for charity at Floris?

February 8 | Generosity in Caring for the Next Generations (and Series Finale) | Deuteronomy 6:4-9, 2 Timothy 1:3-7

Generosity and Stewardship must be tied to the loving and nurturing spiritual mentorship of the generations that come after us. It is the faithful sharing of God’s love, truth, and guidance with children in daily life and being an example across generations. How might our financial stewardship and generosity help us continue to pour out our passion for the next generation of Floris?

Pause and Play

We all know the tension of busy lives filled with work, family, friendships, and endless responsibilities. Sometimes what we need most is to press PAUSE—to take a breath, rest in God’s presence, and make space for what truly matters in our faith lives. Other times, we’re called to press PLAY—to joyfully put faith into action with urgency, bringing our energy and attention to the work of love, justice, and hope in the world. This series is about finding the sacred rhythm between pressing pause to be centered and pressing play to live with purpose and joy.

January 4 | Pause | Matthew 11:28-30

We all know the tension of busy lives filled with endless responsibilities. How can we press PAUSE—to take a breath, rest in God’s presence, and make space for what truly matters in our faith lives. We might find that our burdens will be lifted when we lean into intentional rest in Jesus.

January 11 | Play | James 1:22-25

Sometimes, in the pursuit of rest, we find ourselves not resting, but taking a break from faith itself. How can we show up as doers of the word and press PLAY—to joyfully put faith into action with urgency as we participate in the work of love, justice, and hope in the world?
