The Grace of Giving

March 6, 2022 | Dan Hudson

Learning to excel in generosity is a vital part of Christian discipleship.   Giving isn’t God’s way of raising funds but raising children.

Throughout the Bible we see how God’s people would be taught to honour him with the first-fruits of their income.  In the New Covenant, God opens a way for us to mirror His generosity to us in Christ  through joyful, expectant, systematic, unassuming, settled giving.
