It is one of our 9 Core Values that establish the culture of our church.
We are a culture that thinks “others” instead of “us.” We have an environment that does not brow beat, manipulate, or give undue pressure for money. Rather, we teach and expect those in covenant with us to give according to the biblical mandate of tithes, offerings, and alms. Overall, we practice generosity with our time, talent, and treasure. ~1 Timothy 6:17, 18
LEGACY SUNDAY: December 8th
Generosity is one of the hallmarks of a transformed heart. When we’ve truly had an encounter with Jesus, we CAN’T stay self-focused.
Galatians 5:22, 23 (NAB)
In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, GENEROSITY, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

Three Takeaways from Prov 3:9,10
1. Our Motive Must Be HONOR
2. Our Offering Must Be FIRST & BEST
3. Our Expectation Must Be HIGH
1. Our Motive Must Be HONOR

3. Our Expectation Must Be HIGH
Our Motive Must Be HONOR
Honor (Heb. Kabad) – to be heavy or be weighty. In other words, to not treat like a “light weight.”
Amaziah did all the things on the outside that satisfied God’s request, but without any HONOR.
How we bring our gift to God matters...but also WHAT we bring to God matters!!
Our Offering Must Be FIRST and BEST
Give God the first lamb. Don’t wait until you have ten to choose from. The first blesses the rest.
Long before the Law was ever written and tithing became mandated for Israel, God’s heart has always expected for us to bring Him the FIRST and the BEST.
Our Expectation Must Be HIGH
When we learn to live this way, we must also learn to EXPECT God’s provision.
