Giving
“Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
2 Corinthians 9v7
In 2 Corinthians 9v7, the apostle Paul reminds us that giving financially to support the work of the church is an important part of our worship and life together as a church.
We are not under compulsion to give; instead, we’re to be good stewards and lead lives of generosity, giving sacrificially, joyfully, and graciously.
Why do we give?
Generosity: God’s generosity is the model for our generosity (1 Tim 6:17-18). Through the gospel, we see that giving is not loss, but gain (Acts 20:35), and we give freely and compassionately (2 Corinthians 9:7) as our thankful reflection of God’s own abundant provision over us (2 Peter 1:3). Put simply, we give because God has and continues to give to us.
Worship: We give as a way of worshipping God together (Hebrews 13:16). We celebrate corporately that God’s gifts are not separate from who he is, and we give cheerfully as a natural response to God’s character as Giver and Provider (James 1:17).
Stewardship: We’re not owners of our time, talents, and resources, but stewards of them (Romans 11:36). Think of it this way: where your treasure goes, your heart follows. In other words, the direction of your financial resources mirrors the affections of your heart. Our giving reflects our priorities and commitments (Matthew 6:21), and we seek to use our money and possessions with wisdom and responsibility (Proverbs 16:16).
Partnership: We also give because it's one of the ways we get to partner with God to support our city and our church family (Philippians 1:3-6). Our generosity reaches far beyond our church family; it impacts lives as the gospel is advanced through our giving.
