The Heart & Soul of Giving

Many people wonder what God would have them do about giving. Scripture is clear about this -- giving is a heart issue. Many people feel uncomfortable when it comes to thinking about giving, but giving in God-honoring ways transforms the hearts of those who respond to God's call.

God calls his people to be:

  • Generous Givers
    God calls us to be generous in our giving to the needs of the church and others. Generosity glorifies God! (2 Corinthians 9:132 Corinthians 9:13 )
  • From the Heart Givers
    Jesus wants our heartfelt giving. Giving serves as a sign to us and to God of the difference God has made in our lives—and our eternities. (Luke 12:34Luke 12:34 )
  • Off the Top Givers
    God deserves our best! God calls Christ followers to give off the top, not from the leftovers. (Proverbs 3:9Proverbs 3:9 )
  • Toward Tithing & Beyond Givers
    God calls us to give 10% back to his purposes in the world. As people grow in faith, some are called to give more than 10% to grow and stretch themselves spiritually. (Malachi 3:10Malachi 3:10 )

How do I get from where I am to being the kind of giver God calls me to be?
