We ought to be motivated to give cheerfully because of the bold promises God makes to generous Christians, especially his revelation that he takes special joy in joyful generosity.
We should pursue a Christian maturity marked by a Christlike, dependable, and increasing generosity.
The giving God calls us to is generous but discerning, and it requires us to handle what has been entrusted to us with great care and integrity. In this sermon on 2 Corinthians 8:16–24, Pastor Mike Fabarez argues that biblical generosity must be governed by careful, accountable stewardship rather than impulsive or naïve giving. Drawing …
We should give willingly and proportionately, trusting God to accomplish good through our gifts and to provide for us in the process.

Godly generosity is grounded in what God has done for us and begins when our hearts are gripped by it.

We ought to always be attuned to the practical needs of God’s people, ready to do what we can to demonstrate the love of Christ in tangible ways.
God has confidently planned for the success of his church, our job is to trust him and be resolved, always planning to advance his truth, come what may.
We must appreciate and pursue the evangelistic power of a selfless, sacrificial, and generous Christian life.
When the church is functioning as it ought, it serves as a strengthening and emboldening oasis for us as we venture out each day to point people to Christ in our anti-Christian culture.
God has set the ultimate example of selfless and sacrificial giving that should be diligently followed by all of his disciples – especially at Christmastime.
Even with all its current imperfections, Christ’s Church is a unique institution which provides God’s people with unrivaled fellowship, support, protection, joy, and love.
Essential to developing, cultivating, and maintaining a vibrant love for God is the practice of continually recalling and affirming the profound expressions of love God has demonstrated toward us.
God has given us the unique opportunity to invest in the spiritual profit of many far-reaching groups of people with the launch of Compass Bible Institute.
We must understand and always thoughtfully consider that our Christian financial giving is an extension of our loyalty, love, and submission to the King of kings.
