How to give to your church

Friends, giving financially is both an act of worship and a vital ministry. The best way to give to your church is through online giving. Whether via email transfer or Canada Helps. The instruction and link (in the case of Canada Helps) are on our church website. Alternatively, you can also mail checks to the church address: 6 Kilburn Place, Etobicoke, ON, M9R 2X5.   Your giving funds our local ministry including a food bank that feeds over 170 families in Etobicoke, support programs for the hurting (Divorce Care, Griefshare and more), mission partnerships in Europe, Southeast Asia, India and in Canada.

Introduction:

Trust God in full is an invitation for every believer. In all aspects of our lives.

If we are to trust God in full, it means bringing our finances in the light of his Word and wisdom.
In everything I’ve done, I have demonstrated to you how necessary it is to work on behalf of the weak and not exploit them. You’ll not likely go wrong here if you keep remembering that our Master said, ‘You’re far happier giving than getting.’”
Acts 20:35 The MSG


There is a link with faithfulness and happiness.
God desires our full focus and being.

37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
Matthew 22:37 ESV

Our all includes our wealth and treasures. Why? It is because...


For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Matthew 6:21 ESV


How we manage our wealth, our finances, our time, and our talents reveal where your heart is committed to.
The problem with greed is not the price we pay for the things we want but the true value it takes away from us.

He was a fool because he lived without honoring God.

The issue is NOT affluence BUT arrogance.

The purpose of tithing is to teach you always to put God first in your lives. Deuteronomy 14:23 LB

You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth
Deut. 8:18 ESV

“The best of the firstfruits of your ground you shall bring into the house of the Lord your God. "
Exodus 23:19 ESV

“Every tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is the Lord's; it is holy to the Lord."
Leviticus 27:30 ESV

In the New Testament, Jesus affirmed the practice of tithing and even elevated it.

Apostle Paul also highlights the importance of finding joy in faithfulness.
Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
2 Corinthians 9:7 ESV
