The What, Why, and How of Giving - 1 Corinthians 16:1-4

We don’t talk about money very often. Who taught you how to think about money?When I received my first payment, my mother said to me, “Ray, let’s open an account for you at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.” The teller window was so high I couldn’t see the woman receiving all my hard-earned money, but I went home with a gold-coloured bank book.  My fortune was safe, in the bank vault.  My mother said to me, “A penny saved is a penny earned.”  What’s your story? What did your mother (or father) teach you about money? Does the gospel story shape how you manage money today?  In 1 Corinthians 16, Paul transitions from the conversation about resurrection from the dead to daily life. The way we think about the life to come shapes everything in this earthly life, including how we handle money.The Money of GivingThe Motivation for GivingMechanics of Giving
