Giving / Receiving | The Heart of Giving

In this message, we continue our Giving / Receiving series by focusing on the heart behind our giving. Scripture reminds us that generosity is not about the amount we give, but the heart in which we give. God does not need our money - He wants our hearts.

Jesus illustrates this truth through the widow who gave two small coins, showing that sacrificial, faith-filled giving matters more than impressive amounts. The Apostle Paul builds on this in 2 Corinthians 9, teaching that cheerful giving flows from a heart transformed by the Gospel, not from obligation or pressure.

This message explores:

-Why giving is a heart issue, not a numbers issue

-What it means to be a cheerful giver

-The spiritual principle of sowing and reaping

-Why generosity is something God wants for us, not from us

-How we can trust God to supply as we give faithfully

When we give with joy and faith, God produces far more in our lives than money alone could ever provide. The truth remains - you cannot out-give God.

📖 Scripture: Acts 20:35, Mark 12, Luke 21, 2 Corinthians 9

📌 Series: Giving / Receiving

Giving>Receiving is a series that explores what Scripture really says about money - not as a source of guilt or pressure, but as a reflection of the heart.

Through Paul’s teaching to the church at Corinth, this series reveals God’s desire for His people to be generous, disciplined, and gracious with what He has entrusted to them. Giving is more than an action - it is a mindset shaped by the gospel. God doesn’t need our money; He wants our hearts.

You’ll discover the difference between giving and generosity, why intentional and disciplined giving matters, how tithing serves as a baseline of faith, and why Christian giving is an act of grace rather than obligation.

Ultimately, this series challenges believers to ask an honest question - if your money could talk, what would it say about your heart? Learn how aligning your finances with your faith leads to freedom and deeper trust in God.

The Road to Bethlehem | The Shepherds

In this message from our Christmas series Road to Bethlehem, we step into the story through the eyes of the shepherds. Considered the lowest in society and often overlooked, they were ordinary people doing ordinary work. Yet God chose them first to hear the good news of Christ’s birth. Through their story, we see that God comes to nobodies, makes them somebodies, and entrusts them with a message that is meant for everybody.
