Giving Thanks

Worship is to be joyful and expressive. “Make a joyful noise to the Lord; shout joyfully to the Lord.” As we come into this Thanksgiving week, we look at what is one of the most beloved and ...read more

The Joy Of Giving Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

God puts a really interesting proposition in front of us. He says, “Put me to the test” when it comes to your money. “Try it my way,” God says, “and see if my way works.”

We are doing a yearlong challenge in our church in 2020. We are challenging you to share the story of Christ’s love with friends, co-workers, and family members who don’t know Christ. When you do, we invite you to drop a ping-pong ball into the container, if you will. Our church hopes to see 5,000 ...read more

Giving Extravagantly

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 2, 2019

How extravagantly do we give? Do we give God our best or our leftovers? Let’s look at Mary’s anointing of Jesus in John 12:1-8.

One of the greatest secrets of the universe is in Jesus’ words, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ (Acts 20:35) It’s a simple gauge as to how blessed we are. Are we generous? How extravagantly do we give? Do we give God our best or our leftovers? Let’s look at Mary’s anointing of Jesus ...read more

Giving To Others Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Apr 4, 2019

Giving always connected with money, materials, and properties. There are some more things we can give to others such as, love, compassion, mercy, tender care, thanks, forgiveness, time and fellowship. We can invest our talents and knowledge on others. The knowledge grows when we share with others.

Luke 6:38 “Give and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For the measure you use, it will be measured to you” (Luke 6:38). Give: Giving always connected with money, materials, and properties. There are some more ...read more

A Giving Attitude Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 8, 2023

The reason that your giving is about more than dollars and cents is because the bigger issue is your heart in giving. To have the right attitude in giving we must first put God as our number one priority in our lives.

When we study giving in scripture, we quickly see that giving is more than dollars and cents. It is about a proper attitude and right relationship with God. Your attitude in giving can make a difference in how your giving impacts kingdom work and glorifies God. A giving attitude means putting ...read more

Giving Generously Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 14, 2023

You cannot out give God. You will never be able to match his matchless giving. But we can respond to his perfect gift of salvation in Jesus Christ by generous giving.

How do we transform our lives in the area of prayer and spiritual awakening? Well, the answer is found from a thorough study of revival in the Bible. When you do this study, you will find a connection between spiritual awaking of God’s people and giving. I want to point to examples in the Bible ...read more

Giving Obediently Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 20, 2023

Our obedience in giving equates to our love for God. We are to acknowledge God’s ownership of everything. This requires faith because we believe that God will provide our needs. We give a tithe to God and he will supply with the remaining ninety percent.

This is a very serious look at giving since the opposite of obedience to God is disobedience. There is no neutral ground between obedience to God and disobedience to God. “I the Lord do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. 7 Ever since the time of your ancestors you ...read more

Give And Take

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 26, 2023

Givers trust in God, rather than in themselves; they are focused outward. Takers have not learned to trust in God and focus on their own needs.

Anybody remember the televangelist scandals of the 80’s? Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, Oral Roberts and his highly publicized plea for - what was it, $8 million? - to keep God from striking him dead. Remember the uproar in all the secular news media and the shame felt by so many evangelicals at being ...read more

Never Give In

Contributed by Mike Bryant on Jan 11, 2024

Churchill famously urged, "Never give in," a vital attitude for Christians. In Phil 3:12-16, Paul gives us the key to never giving up in our pursuit of the resurrection. That key is that we properly deal with the past, the future, and the present in our lives.

I. Introduction A. It took Winston Churchill 3 years to get through 8th grade because he had trouble learning Latin and consistently finished at the very bottom of his class. Ironically, years later, in the midst of WW2, he was asked to speak at the Oxford University commencement exercises. The ...read more

Psalm 100 is an excellent guide for entering the presence of God. "Enter his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise: Be thankful unto him, and bless His name." Unthankfulness and silence curses God’s name. It brings him shame.
