Worship in Giving

Giving is an outward expression of the genuine joy we feel about supporting what God is doing in his church. We want to contribute regularly and cheerfully (2 Corinthians 9:6-7) to support the church’s ministries, expenses, and the making of disciples among all nations. Giving is out of the “first fruits” of our labor (Proverbs 3:9) and we pray that you would also consider giving of your time and the gifts and abilities he has so graciously given to you for your good and God’s glory! Mike Riccardi with The Cripplegate has a great article on Giving as an Act of Worship.

6 Motivations for Giving from 2 Corinthians 8:

1. (8:1-8) Giving is the exampled behavior of devout Christians. “they gave of their own accord, begging us with much urging for the favor of participation in the support of the saints” (8:3-4)
2. (8:9) Giving is Christ-like.
3. (8:10-12) Giving is the desire of every regenerate spirit.
4. (8:13-15) Giving is a compassionate response to the needs of others.
5. (8:16-21) Giving is honorable before God and man.
6. (8:22-24) Giving is proof of love.
