Here For Good :: Everything Belongs to You // Chris Holm

We gathered this morning to celebrate what the Holy Spirit has done through our capital campaign. That total represents kitchen table conversations, prayers, and willingness that runs counter to human nature.In 1 Chronicles 29, we see David preparing materials for a temple he would never set foot in. After being told he wouldn't build it himself, David gave massively from his personal treasury and rallied the nation to participate. His prayer reveals the truth behind all generosity: everything we give comes from God's hand first. We're returning what already belonged to him.David's framework redefines generosity. We tend to see it as subtraction (I have less now), but scripture presents it as return. God measures our giving by what it costs us, not by the amount. When hundreds of people in Columbiana commit to a building campaign despite tight budgets and financial pressures, that willingness comes from the Holy Spirit rewiring priorities and creating generosity where fear should dominate.We gave toward people who don't know our names yet. A family about to fracture. A teenager losing hope. They'll walk into a seat we helped fund and encounter Jesus in a way that changes everything.At communion, we remembered the ultimate gift: Jesus, who was rich, became poor so we could become spiritually rich through his poverty. The bread and cup remind us what freedom cost and what it provides. One day we'll gather at a different table and see how every sacrificial gift echoed into forever. And with David, we'll say: who are we that we should give like this? Everything came from you. All glory belongs to you.URF WEBSITE: ➤ http://www.urfellowship.comSOCIALS: ➤ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/urfellowship/➤ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/urfellowship
