The Ministry of Giving

Giving is the biblical practice of setting aside a portion of what you earn for the Lord’s use particularly within a church, ministry, organization or a specific need that will further the Gospel, spread the Word of God, and build up God’s people. The amount you set aside should be between you and the Lord.

​

Giving is a form of thankfulness. It is often a good indicator of the condition of our hearts. Thankful hearts are usually giving hearts.

Giving is not just providing money but can be accomplished using your three T’s: Talents (God-given ability to assist in a specific way), Time (sacrifice to serve), and Treasure (resources).

 

Giving Guidelines

• Giving should be a willing desire born from the heart, not forced or compelled upon you. For God loves a cheerful giver [ 2 Corinthians 9:7 ]

 

• Giving should be discreet, done in a way that only God will get the glory from the offering and all the attention will stay on Him [ Matthew 6:1-4 ]

 

• Giving should be a regular part of our worship and devotion to God for all that He has done for us [1 Corinthians 16:1-2 ]
