Giving
Malachi 3:10
"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it."
Proverbs 3:9-10
"Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine."
Luke 6:38
"Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
2 Corinthians 9:6
"Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously."
Why Give?
We believe that giving in tithes and offerings is a meaningful practice rooted in our understanding of God's love and provision. It is not a means to earn God's love, but rather a heartfelt response of gratitude and worship for the abundant blessings we have received. Giving allows us to honor and acknowledge that everything we possess ultimately belongs to God. It is an act of faith and trust, recognizing that He is the ultimate source of all our resources. By giving, we demonstrate our dependence on Him and our commitment to being faithful stewards of what He has entrusted to us. Moreover, giving is an expression of love, compassion, and obedience, reflecting God's character and His heart for others. When we give in tithes and offerings, we actively participate in God's work, support those in need, and contribute to the advancement of His kingdom. It is an act of worship, where we joyfully and gratefully offer our resources to bring glory to God rather than seeking personal gain.
