Stinkin’ Blessed 3 – Thanks-Giving

WHY WE GIVE

We see a need and we are Stinkin’ Blessed

The more we become like Jesus the closer we copy Him, like the churches in Macedonia who saw needs in Jerusalem

Matthew 10:8

We know the result, we understand the relationship between our giving and others being ministered to

Exodus 23:15, 34:20, Deuteronomy 16:16

2 Chronicles 31:6-10

We want to be obedient

Malachi 3:10

We own the mission, we believe in it, we know why we give

It’s about being part of a church
that doesn’t just say it’s not about me but lives it in their planning, events and giving,
that isn’t over busy doing things we like but making decisions and doing things that reach out to the unconnected,
that doesn’t just say everyone has something awesome to do but works hard to give them the opportunity to do it,
that isn’t just about the few hours on Sunday morning but also the other 163 hours of the week!

Acts 1:8
