Why We Give
Jesus is a Giver, and His people embody a culture of generosity as well.
Like Him, we try to go above and beyond when it comes to giving to others of our time, energy, and, of course, our money. To love and serve our church family, our neighbors, our city, and our world is made possible through the wise stewardship of generous donors. We give because God has given so much to us. We choose generosity because it honors God and reaches more people.
MANY things are competing for your time, energy, and money. We live in a culture that is stretched to the max – not enough hours in the day, barely enough energy to get through the day, and too much month at the end of our money. Those who walk in loving obedience to Jesus live differently…they leverage differently…they love differently.
The Bible says in Matthew 6:24 that the top competitor for our commitment to Jesus is money. Leveraging who we are and what we have been given allows us to demonstrate that He is more important to us than material things.
When you give of your time, talents, and treasure to eternal things, you are tangibly making a difference in someone’s life. Marriages are restored, lives are healed, and people come to know, love, and follow Jesus into His Kingdom – here in Grain Valley and around the world.
It all begins with a culture of generosity in the local church.
