When We Gather Together: We Give

When We Gather Together: We Give

Our giving is a part of our worship on Sunday mornings. Giving as worship is expanded upon in 2 Corinthians 8-9. The following is a summary of the teaching on giving by Paul.

• Those who are disciples of Christ should excel in the grace of giving.
• Giving is an expression of the love for Jesus.
• God loves willing and cheerful givers.
• A willingness to be generous in giving is more important than the amount given.
• Our giving should be a natural response to God's gracious gift of His Son.
• Our giving will result in praise and thanksgiving to God, unity among the brothers and sisters, and a renewed ability to serve the church in multifaceted ways.
