GIVING TO OUR CHURCH
WHY GIVE?
“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.” (2 Corinthians 8:9)
Thank you for considering supporting the work of our church! All of our ministry, in London and further afield, is entirely reliant on the giving of our church members. Therefore, as our church grows we will need our whole church family to partner with us financially to enable the church to cover the costs of our growing ministries in our area and beyond.
We hope you will agree that giving financial support for our local church is an important and enjoyable way to express our gratitude to God. Many at our church can testify to the joy that comes from giving generously and seeing the fruit in people’s lives.
A wonderful Bible passage on the grace of giving is 2 Corinthians 8 and 9 and it is worth prayerfully studying these chapters when you are considering your giving. Some key principles are that we should give...
● SACRIFICIALLY (8:1-2) accepting the personal cost
● GENEROUSLY (8:3-7) as much as we are able for the salvation of others
● GRATEFULLY (8:8-9) for Christ became poor that we might be rich in Him
● REALISTICALLY (8:10-12) according to our capacity
● EQUALLY (8:13-15) giving of our plenty to help others
● CAREFULLY (8:16-24) so that we are good stewards of God’s money
● ACTUALLY (9:1-5) without hypocrisy and ensuring we act on our intentions and keep our commitments
● FREELY (9:6-7) without compulsion or reluctance but cheerfully
● CONFIDENTLY (9:8-11) knowing that God will always supply our genuine needs
● ENCOURAGINGLY (9:12-17) so that others praise God for what he does through us
In light of this we would like the whole church to:
PRAY!
Ask God for a generous heart and wisdom on how best to support His church with the money He has entrusted to you.
2. THINK!
Carefully review your own finances and consider how to put into practice the Biblical principles outlined above.
3. ACT!
Decide on an amount to give and make your gift. We encourage everybody to get involved at whatever level they can, because generous and sacrificial giving is part of our worship of the Lord Jesus.
“Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” (2 Corinthians 9:7)
