Why Give?

The Apostle Paul asks this rhetorical question:

What do you have that you have not received? The answer is nothing. Everything we have in life we

have received as a gift. Generosity is a tangible reminder that we are ultimately to live self-directed

lives but for God and others. Sacrificial giving is a discipline to make us more generous,

joyful, caring and gracious people. The paradox of Christianity is that we are more blessed, satisfied,

and fulfilled when we give, rather than when we receive. It was true of our Saviour

and must be true of us.

All gifts and generosity received support the ongoing mission and ministry of our church.
