Where your Treasure is.....

"6Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.  7Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.  8And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work."  2 Corinthians 9:6-8(New International Version)

GROWTH IN GENEROSITY

Generosity is a spiritual issue; every financial decision is a faith decision.  For individuals to be empowered, we must put aside fear and renew our trust in God.

 People are accustomed to a consumer-driven lifestyle.

How do we as the Church:

  • Speak more intentionally and directly about how people are dealing with day-to-day finances?

  • Meet people where they are in their finances by teaching and coaching them about managing money and resources?

  • Help people learn to get out of debt and stay out of debt?

  • Help people learn to save more?

  • Educate people on making every financial decision a faith decision?
