What does it mean to give?
Genesis 14:18-20
Deuteronomy 14:22-26

In the Greek language, to tithe is the word “dekatos” [dek'-at-os], which means a tenth, or give the tenth part 
To give offerings is the word “didomi” [did'-o-mee], which means to offer or give something to someone.
And to give alms is the word “eleemosyne” [e-le-ā-mosü'-nā], which means a donation to the poor



Why do I give?
Malachi 3:8-12
Matthew 6:19-33
How do I give?
2 Corinthians 9:6-15
Acts 2:44-45
Acts 4:32-37

Paul encouraged the believers at Corinth to give offerings “...as he purposes in his heart,”Similarly, 2 Corinthians 9:7 connects our actions to God’s heart when Paul writes that Christians should give “not grudgingly or of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver.” “...my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

Preaching that Changes Lives


2 Corinthians 9:7 “...my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

Phil 4:19 “My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” I am persuaded that this promise is for the one who is generous with God. God cannot afford to lavish his gifts upon the stingy Christian, for he would only squander them upon his own selfish desires. And then Paul in our Galatian passage tells the saint that if he is liberal with God, he will reap spiritual blessings, but if he uses his money for his own selfish purposes, that money and what it will buy, will breed corruption in his life

Kenneth Wuest Golden Nuggets from the Greek New Testament: p.118


“Jesus Christ said more about money than about any other single thing because, when it comes to a man's real nature, money is of first importance. Money is an exact index to a man's true character. All through Scripture there is an intimate correlation between the development of a man's character and how he  handles  his  money.”     ~ Richard C. Halverson

“Worship is giving God the best that He has given you. Be careful what you do with the best you have. Whenever you get a blessing from God, give it back to Him as a love gift. Take time to meditate before God and offer the blessing back to Him in a deliberate act of worship. If you hoard a thing for yourself, it will turn into spiritual dry rot, as the manna did when it was hoarded. God will never let you hold a spiritual thing for yourself; it has to be given back to Him that He may make it a blessing to others.” ~ Oswald Chambers

Genesis 15:1-2)
Matthew 9:27-29
John 9:35-38
Hebrews 11:6 1
Thessalonians 2:13

What does it mean to believe? Read Matthew 9:27-29 and John 9:35-38 Believing involves relying completely on something with unwavering confidence. As a disciple, your conviction that God exists, is the Creator and Ruler of all things, and the Provider and Bestower of eternal salvation through Christ, relies on your belief1 that He is who He says He is. 

 “Believe” in the Greek language is “pistis” (pē'-stēs), which means “to place confidence in or to trust.” Genuine belief is not about simply complying, but instead involves a true conviction of heart. 
The greatest indicator of what we believe is how behave. 

 Your daily, intimate relationship with Jesus Christ is the source of your faith. Belief begins with a conviction in your heart, a confession of your mouth, and is demonstrated by your actions. As we live faithfilled lives, our profession of our faith in Jesus Christ and His sufficiency will lead us on an epic adventure where we, like Abraham and Sarah, impact the generations to come.--New Song Christian Fellowship [1]

“Faith is the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted in spite of your changing moods.”[2]~ C.S. Lewis (British Scholar and Novelist, 1898-1963) 
“Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time.”[3][

“Faith in God constitutes the highest worship, the prime duty, the first obedience, and the foremost sacrifice. Without faith God forfeits His glory, wisdom, truth, and mercy in us. The first duty of man is to believe in God and to honor Him with his faith. Faith is truly the height of wisdom, the right kind of righteousness, the only real religion….Faith says to God: ‘I believe what you say.’”[4] ~ Martin Luther (Priest and Professor of Theology, 1483 – 1546)
Here we have, I. A definition or description of the grace of faith in two    parts. 1. It is the substance of things hoped for. Faith and hope go together; and the same things that are the object of our hope are the object of our faith. It is a firm persuasion and expectation that God will perform all that he has promised to us in Christ; and this persuasion is so strong that it gives the soul a kind of possession and present fruition of those things, gives them a subsistence in the soul, by the first-fruits and foretastes of them: so that believers in the exercise of faith are filled with joy unspeakable and full of glory. Christ dwells in the soul by faith, and the soul is filled with the fullness of God, as far as his present measure will admit; he experiences a substantial reality in the objects of faith. 2. It is the evidence of things not seen. Faith demonstrates to the eye of the mind the reality of those things that cannot be discerned by the eye of the body. Faith is the firm assent of the soul to the divine revelation and every part of it, and sets to its seal that God is true. It is a full approbation of all that God has revealed as holy, just, and good; it helps the soul to make application of all to itself with suitable affections and endeavors; and so it is designed to serve the believer instead of sight, and to be to the soul all that the senses are to the body.[5]
