Every good and perfect gift...
In all this I have given you an example that by such work we must support the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus, for he himself said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” (Acts 20:35)
Proportionate Giving is related to Joyful Giving. We encourage congregants to give a proportion of their income to the ministry of the church. In the Old Testament, the tithe-or ten percent of one’s income is the obligatory proportionate gift. In the New Testament, Jesus never advocates tithing. Instead, Jesus challenges us to be generous in all that we do. In Luke’s Gospel, we learn that “much is required of the person to whom much is given; much more is required from the person to whom more is given” (12:48)
We give as an expression of gratitude for all that God has done for us.
We give because we are called, as followers of Jesus, to be wise stewards of the resources God has entrusted to us.
We give because God has designed us to be givers. There is joy and satisfaction in generosity.
We give because giving helps us grow into spiritual maturity. God loves cheerful givers.
We give because giving helps break the hold that money can get on our hearts and imaginations.
We give because the mission of the church is important – learning to live like Jesus, love like Jesus and lead others to Jesus.
