Grow the Gospel

Giving money towards our church is an act of faith and obedience to God’s command to support the spread of the gospel. Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 9:7, “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”

As Christians, repenting of sin and faith in Jesus frees us. Sin, Satan, ourselves, materialism, and money are no longer kings in our lives – only Jesus is. He was the richest, but became poor for us (2 Corinthians 8:9). Therefore, we can be free to be generous because our lives are not about money, wealth or possessions.

God’s desire for us then is to generously and joyfully respond to the gospel. So by giving generously and joyfully, we participate in God’s work and help to fulfill the Great Commission to go and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19-20). In this way, giving is nothing less than mission. It is partnering with God at work in our city. Contributions given to Proclaim supports the growth of the gospel in our community, bringing hope and salvation to people in the City of Casey.

“Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.”
Hebrews 13:16
