Sermon: A Theology of Christian Giving

When have you felt so close to someone or a cause that you opened your wallet? What convinced you to actually give money to something or someone?The next section of the letter of Philippians confronts us square in the face about our giving. Rather than sidestep this, we have the duty to unpack a theology of Christian giving. This isn’t a heavy handed ask that the apostle Paul is making, instead he is thanking the Philippians for giving and explaining why Christians give.Here’s a spoiler: as we read along with what Paul says to the Philippians, we learn there are some pretty amazing things that are happening when we give to Jesus’ church. There is a lot for us to be excited about when we think about all the giving that is done at Seven Mile Road as well!Philippians 4:14-20
