When you give to Emmanuel you are empowering the church in many ways! As beneficiaries of God’s grace, goodness and generosity, it is our responsibility to use what God has given us to bless others. There are multiple ways to honour God with your giving.
Ways to Give
Give Regularly
1 Corinthians 16:2 “On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his income.” As we faithfully, consistently give on a regular basis, a great giving habit is developed.
Establish a tithe as a goal of your giving
Leviticus 27:30 “’A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD.” A tithe was identified as 10% of earnings that the Lord expected his people to return to Him. Many people give above and beyond the tithe; however, if this sounds difficult for you to give, try setting a percentage of 3% to 5% as a starting point. Then as you trust God to meet your needs, you can increase your giving as you see Him faithful to you as you trust Him!
