Lights On, Gospel Out – Why We Give

In this powerful message, we're challenged to view giving not as a burden, but as a joyful act of worship that honors God and fuels His mission. The central theme revolves around Proverbs 3:9, which calls us to honor the Lord with our substance and firstfruits. This isn't about legalism; it's about prioritizing God in every aspect of our lives, including our finances. We're encouraged to test God's faithfulness by giving our first and best, trusting that He will provide for our needs. The early church in Acts 4 serves as a compelling example of radical generosity, reminding us that our giving reflects God's heart and builds unity within the body of Christ. As we consider our own giving, let's ask ourselves: Are we giving out of obligation, or are we giving as a response to God's overwhelming generosity towards us? This message invites us to experience the joy and spiritual growth that comes from sacrificial giving.
