Giving

Giving – the ability to contribute material resources with generosity and cheerfulness for the benefit of others and glory of God

God gifts certain members of the body to give remarkably greater amounts of their resources with great joy. These people have an acute awareness that all they have belongs to the Lord and they are merely stewards of it. They know that God will provide for their needs and richly bless them in their giving.

Paul relates to the Philippians in chapter 4 verses 16-19 “…you sent me aid again and again when I was in need... They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.”

The blessings that God gives us are meant to be shared with others.
