When we give to the work of the Church, we are putting our faith in action by placing God first in our lives. Giving is a way to thank God for His provision,  actively trust in Him, even to keep our own green in check. It is also the primary way the church and the ministry of the Gospel continues in our community.

The truth is, as we grow in our relationship with Jesus, we hope to become increasingly like him. And because Jesus was generous, we want to grow in our generosity as well.

If you’d like to know more about what the Bible has  to say about generosity, here are a few helpful passages: Psalm 119:33-36, Proverbs 11:24-25, Malachi 3:10, Matthew 6:19-21, Acts 20:32–35, 2 Corinthians 9:6–8, 1 Timothy 6:17–19.
