    Using guilt to get people to give money to the Lord’s work is wrong, but it is a temptation because 37% of regular church attenders give nothing to the church, 33% of them engage in at least some form of gambling.

    Part I Purpose: To lay out God's parameters for giving. Aim: I want the listener to examine how they give to God and make any changes that are contrary to God's design for giving.

    When it comes to Christian Giving we are misinformed, confused, and have mixed emotions. This is a basic look at Christian Giving.

What is an offering? Are we required to give? ...read more

    World Hunger Sunday, 1989: We will find joy in giving if we make our giving a priority, if it is done proportionately and sacrificially, and if we see it as a privilege.

    The notion is going around in some circles that poor people are happy people. Have you heard that? It’s a kind of romantic idea, that poor people are happy people, that when you have nothing you at least have each other, you at least depend on God … you know all the usual things that are said.

    What motivates you to give? The Corinthians had an easy time setting unrealistic giving goals that set them up for failure, but a hard time giving in a way that released the gift to God and brought Him glory. In this chapter Paul gives us some valuable le

    The example of the Macedonian our Corinthian churches give us tremendous advice on the sensitive subject of tithing for NT believers today! Advice that is easy to understand requiring very little interpretation!

    So much is said about tithing and yet it is probably the most difficult subject for me to speak on. I think it would be actually easier if the church was wealthy. Why is this such a sensitive subject? Or maybe its me, but why is it so hard to preach on? What about to you? Think about it for a ...read more

    We need to distinguish between needs and wants. Poverty can help us decide what we truly need; then we become eager to make happen what we truly want. Our relationship to God determines our priorities. Montgomery Hills Baptist Church
