WHY WE GIVE.
“For where you treasure is, there you heart will be also.” Mt. 6:21
Giving isn’t about money, it’s about the heart. Proper stewarding of our finances is a proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ. God is a giver. The Bible says, “God so loved the world that He gave His only Son…” (Jn 3:16) God has called His people to proclaim His excellencies by doing as He did and giving of themselves for the sake of His glory.
2Corinthians 9:7, “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” It’s not generosity that God loves. It is a heart delighting in the glory of God that cheerfully overflows in generosity.
We strive to be a people who live simply, love deeply, and give selflessly. We give generously because Jesus gave everything.
