“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”
Giving at Purpose church
we GENEROUSLY give OF OUR TIME / TALENT / TREASURE So that it might be said there was NO ONE in our community in need.
OUR GIVING LITURGY
(We say this corporately, every Sunday, as a practice of counter-formation, to cultivate our hearts in the direction of generosity)
Heavenly Father, there is nothing we have that You have not given me. All we have and all that I am belong to You, bought with the blood of Jesus. To spend everything on ourself, and to give without sacrifice, is the way of the world that You cannot abide.
But generosity is the way of those who call Christ their Lord; who love Him with free hearts and serve Him with renewed minds. Who withstand the delusion of riches that chokes the word; Whose hearts are in your kingdom and not in the systems of the world.
We am determined to increase in generosity until it can be said that there is no needy person among us. We are determined to be trustworthy with such a little thing as money that You may trust me with true riches.
Above all, we are determined to be generous because You, Father, are generous. It is the delight of Your daughters and sons to share Your traits, and to show what You are like to all the world.
Amen
