Louie Giglio teaches that God doesn’t need our money, but He invites us to participate in the story of generosity to propel His mission forward. God already owns the cattle on 1000 hills, but He is looking at the heart of the giver rather than the amount.
Key Takeaway
We give because "our story" becomes "your story."
Start and end with why. Why generosity? Why give?
Dr. Crawford reminded us previously that God doesn't need your money. So, you may be asking the question, "If God doesn’t need my money, why do I give?"
1. The mandate of God on earth does need your money.
The most essential enterprise on the planet (getting the story of Jesus to people and helping people get to Jesus) is expensive.
Many people are funding political campaigns, but how much more essential is the call of Jesus?
We have a message of hope that requires finance, and people are sent out because of people who give.
An eternity can change because of something like an ice cream social in a park, and that ice cream itself costs money.
2. Your generosity writes you into the story of God
God doesn't just want our church to have a story; He wants you to have a story.
God doesn't want your money if your heart and affection aren't for Him. He's interested in your heart.
Generosity isn't about the amount you give; it's about the heart of worship behind your giving.
What do you trust God with?
