Give Like God

On Sunday we focused on ‘Giving Like God’ does as we looked at Malachi 3:6—12. As we look at God’s emphasis on how His people should give we noted these 4 characteristics:

Giving is expected—God continually gives to us, therefore we are to continually give all to Him (Malachi 3:8—9; Galatians 2:20).

Giving is purposeful—Our giving at least a tenth of our earnings to our local church allows our church to fulfill its calling (Malachi 3:10a; Nehemiah 13:10ff.; Matthew 28:20).

Giving is consequential—There is a curse-blessing emphasis our loving Father places on our Him with our finances (Malachi 3:10b—11; Luke 12:47—48).

Giving is a witness—God uses our financial trust of Him to accomplish His desire on earth and thereby uses our obedience to call others to Himself (Malachi 3:12; Matthew 5:16; 1 Timothy 6:18).

My prayer is that we will all give like God so that we might be blessed by Him. So, are you giving like the Father?

Grace, a great giving opportunity will take place this Saturday with TLC. Help us show the Triangle our great church family and our even greater Heavenly Father.
