Your Giving Impacts Lives
Giving is more than just a financial transaction; it’s an act of faith and love. When you give to our church, you’re not just supporting our ministries; you’re investing in the lives of others. Your generosity helps us provide essential services, support missions, and share the love of Christ with the world.
Understanding Biblical Giving
Throughout Scripture there’s over 2,000 verses about giving, money, stewardship. Jesus actually talked about money more than any other topic while He was here on earth. So there’s a lot of material in the Scriptures that teach us how we are to give and as you study the Scriptures you’ll find four basic principles for giving.
1. GIVING IS TO BE A PRIORITY
The Bible tells us that giving is to be a first fruit. That we are to give our first and our best. Practically speaking what this means for us is that we’re to take a portion of our gross income and give that away. Before taxes, before any other expenditures, we are to give. It’s the very first thing that we’re to do with our finances. So giving’s to be a priority.
2. GIVING IS TO BE DONE PROPORTIONALLY
Giving is to be done proportionally – meaning that we give according to what God has given to us. So those that God has given more, we give more.
3. GIVING IS TO BE DONE SACRIFICIALLY
Sometimes, giving isn’t always going to feel good – it requires faith to move past the discomfort. There’s going to be sometimes a struggle and some pain associated with giving.
Look at 2 Samuel 24:24 when David is offered everything that he needs to make a sacrifice and how did he respond? He said, “No, I will not offer God something that has not cost me anything.” And so we see this idea of sacrificial giving.
4. GIVING IS TO BE DONE CHEERFULLY
Then finally we find that giving is to be done cheerfully. We know that God loves a cheerful giver.
