Throughout the history of the Church, generosity has been a recognizable factor to the world of God’s love. For Christians, it’s meant to become second nature … because generosity is our response to the gift of God’s generosity toward us. His generosity, leads to our gratitude, which overflows in generosity back to Him. We can trace the thread: our gratitude comes from His generosity.
“Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God.” —2 Corinthians 9:11
In this Scripture above, the people in need can trace the tread—their gratitude comes from the generosity of God’s people. By your tithes and offerings, you’re able to have the exact same impact today. Your generosity, in response to God’s generosity to you, will lead to someone else overflowing with thankfulness because you’ve decided to give. Here are a couple ways your tithes and offerings this year have led to someone else’s thanksgiving:
In this season of stewardship—our leadership’s planning for the upcoming year—we want to ask you to prayerfully consider your next step in generosity. What if your commitment this year will be the reason someone else says “thank you, God!”?
Below, you’ll find some examples of how God has multiplied the gifts of cheerful givers at University Carillon this year … tracing the thread of those who are experiencing God’s blessings back to the source of generosity: God’s people and most ultimately, God Himself.
