2 Corinthians 9:7 declares: "Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."

1. Giving Breaks the Power of Greed

Money can easily become an idol. Generously supporting church ministry, missions, and the poor breaks financial greed and places our ultimate trust in God the Provider.

2. You Cannot Outgive God

Luke 6:38 promises that when we give with a generous spirit, pressed down, shaken together and running over will be poured into your lap.
