(re)GIFTING: Week 2 - What Is Your Priority?

This series is about MONEY. Where did what you have come from? What is it for? And why does what you do with it matter?   And the consensus out there is, “Why do churches talk so much about money?” Now,  I cannot speak to what other churches do. But here at South Hills, we intentionally carve out time to do an entire series on money, about once or twice a year. And we do this because money is a big part of life.  We want to help you realize that everything you have is from God and He gave it to you in order to empower you to expand His Kingdom. We want to encourage you to leverage the practice of percentage giving to regularly remind yourselves that God is your priority & your provider. We also want to inspire you to make it your very own personal goal to increase your generosity year-after-year as you grow in faith. And we want to talk about real life too. We don’t want to avoid the subject of money because Jesus didn’t. He talked a lot about money. He said more about money & materialism than he did about heaven. In fact, he told 35 parables & out of them, 16 had to do with money & possessions. So anything Jesus wasn’t silent on, we don’t want to be either.  But I do promise you this, our aim is never to shame or intimidate or demand anything from you. We want to educate & inspire you to leverage what you’ve got in this life to make your life worthwhile. And I hope that’s your experience here over these next few weeks.
