Give

Giving the first of our income is an act of worship that honors God (Proverbs 3:9).

Being rich in good works, generous, and ready to share is how we store up treasure for the future (1 Timothy 6:17-19). 

Sharing and sacrificial giving is pleasing to God (Hebrews 13:16). 

Taking up a weekly collection to support ministry has always been part of church worship gatherings (1 Corinthians 16:1-2). 

Our hearts and our finances are closely related. Giving towards God’s kingdom draws our hearts toward God’s kingdom (Matthew 6:19-21). 

We shouldn’t give under compulsion. God loves a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:6-7). 

It is more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35 ).
