Giving Our Resources
exodus 35:
We as a church exist to make a difference in our community, proclaiming the Gospel by:
· Worshiping the Lord
· Praying Corporately
· Growing in Grace
· Reaching Our Community
Giving of Our Resources
Giving our resources
We exist to give!
With out giving our church has not purpose
Without giving our church has no direction
Without giving we can not exist
Giving our resources must be taught and carried out
This subject is not preached on much but is important in the life of the church
I am convinced that if God allows up to construct our new building it will be because the membership of this church are convicted in the area of giving their resources.
First lets discuss the basics
The tithe belongs to God
8 Will a man rob God?
Yet ye have robbed me.
But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee?
In tithes and
offerings.
9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed
me, Even this whole nation.
10 Bring ye all the tithes into
the storehouse, That there may be meat in mine house,
And prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, If I
will not open you the windows of heaven, And pour you
out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to
receive it.
New Testament
Jesus validated the tithe
23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have
omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment,
mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to
leave the other undone.
It’s a matter of the heart
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be
also.
Insert A
7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let
him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a
cheerful giver.
Don’t any to the building program until you tithe.
The offering after the tithe is for debt reduction/building and missions.
We are a church are here to share the gospel and this will be accomplished by our sharing our resources.

c) Giving keeps our priorities straight -
It keeps the focus of self and on the Lord.

Modest home vs golf course
Praying in needs vs excessive spending
But remember, the blessing is not always monetary – God has not promised “health and wealth” to the Christian.
The believer is to be content in whatever state he is placed and God has promised to shield us from trials that we are not strong enough to face.
d) Giving Guards us from Selfishness -
You are eligible for a blessing.
