WHY WE GIVE
Supporting Life Change Through Generosity
The stewardship of our finances is a tremendous and often overlooked area where we can faithfully proclaim the gospel. Giving strengthens our devotion to Christ and frees us to love open-handedly with the gifts God gives us. We trust in Him and His provision instead of our perceived self-sufficiency. As people of faith, we give faithfully and generously.
WHAT DOES THE BIBLE TEACH ABOUT GENEROSITY?
- God owns it all (Psalm 24:1, 50:10-12)
- God calls us to steward what he has entrusted us with (Matthew 25:14-30)
- God calls us to give him our first and best (Genesis 4:3-5; Proverbs 3:8-9)
- God modeled generosity for us by giving his one and only son, Jesus, to die in our place (John 3:16; 2 Corinthians 8:9)
- God calls us to test him in generosity and that he will provide exactly what we need (Malachi 3:10-11; 2 Corinthians 9:11)
