When Life and Truth Collide-Part 4: The Giving Heart

The first church EXAMPLED UNITY

All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all that there were no needy persons among them. - Acts 4:32-34

The first church GAVE IN EXCESS

For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need. Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means “son of encouragement”), sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles’ feet. - Acts4:34-37

The giving HEART MATTERS

Tithing Myths:

  1. 10% is arbitrary

  2. Churches that ask for money are greedy

  3. All the money goes to funding the pastor’s lifestyle

Tithing Lies:

  1. You got to give to get

  2. Only your local church can be tithed to

Steps to a Giving Heart

1. Have a giving MINDSET

Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.

2. Have a giving PLAN

Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion...

3. Have a giving HEART

... for God loves a cheerful giver. - 1 Corinthians 9:6-7
