The Ministry of Giving

Since you excel in so many ways – in your faith, your gifted speakers, your knowledge, your enthusiasm, and your love from us, – I want you to excel also in this gracious act of giving.
2 Corinthians 8:7

 

 

My Takeaways

Something Old

Paul commends the churches for their gracious giving.

  • Give in proportion to what we have.
  • Give eagerly.
  • Give according to what we have, not what we don’t have.

“That poor widow’s mite was beyond the rich man’s magnificence, because it came out of a richer mind.” (John Trapp) English theologian

We can excel in giving when we first give ourselves to the Lord. (2 Corinthians 8:5)

Something New

2 Corinthians 7:8-9

I’m very thankful for the people in my life who will speak hard truths to me.

  1. I am happy to give a portion of my social security each month as tithe, i feel happy to be able to contribute out of my own earnings rather than just my husband’s. It really does feel like a privilege. And I love that God allows us to test Him in this area of tithing, and promises to bless us for doing so!
