Radical Generosity
A Giving Guide from One Church @ Harvest Point
Our Generosity Journey
At One Church @ Harvest Point, we encourage individuals to give out of joy, gratitude, sacrifice, and obedience as an act of worship. Our goal is to promote the idea that giving should be an expression of faith rather than just a legalistic or pressured obligation. We believe that giving is an outward expression of acknowledging that God has given us all that we have and that He will provide for our needs. Furthermore, we believe that giving is an opportunity for God to bless us and lead us closer to Him.
“Each person should give what they have decided in their heart to give, without any reluctance or compulsion. For God loves a cheerful giver.”2 Corinthians 9:7
Principles for Radical Generosity
Give Generously
The Macedonians gave generously, beyond their means.
“Now, brethren, we wish to make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the churches of Macedonia, that in a great ordeal of affliction their abundance of joy and their deep poverty overflowed in the wealth of their liberality. For I testify that according to their ability, and beyond their ability, they gave of their own accord, begging us with much urging for the favor of participation in the support of the saints, and this, not as we had expected, but they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us by the will of God.”2 Corinthians 8:1-5
Give Sacrificially
The widow gave sacrificially.
“Calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, ‘Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the contributors to the treasury; for they all put in out of their surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, all she had to live on.’”Mark 12:43-44
Give Cheerfully
Give from a cheerful heart and not under pressure.
“Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”2 Corinthians 9:7
Give Regularly
The apostle Paul explicitly commends a disciplined and orderly form of giving.
“On the first day of every week each one of you is to put aside and save, as he may prosper, so that no collections be made when I come.”1 Corinthians 16:2
Giving is part of discipleship, an act of worship, an expression of gratitude, and a statement of faith.
