Why Give Back to God?
Giving reflects a grateful heart that wants to give God the first part of our money on the first day of the week to show that God is first in our life.
Giving is a Reflection of the Heart
Matthew 6:19-21 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where you treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Where you spend your money, your heart will closely follow.

Generosity is a Privilege for Us
The first century church modeled for us what it means to give generously and joyfully so that more and more people could find their way back to God.
2 Corinthians 8:2-4,7 “Out of the most severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the saints… Just as you excel in everything – in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness, and in your love for others – see that you also excel in this grace of giving.”
