Diocese of Bristol | The Good Giving Guide Introduction To think about the Christian responsibility to give generously To review the Biblical material on the subject To challenge you to give generously

Diocese of Bristol | The Good Giving Guide Some basic assumptions Christian giving is a primary Christian responsibility 2 Cor. 8:7 The giving of my time is also an important but distinct Christian responsibility The guiding principle is sacrificial giving Luke 21:2 Sacrificial giving will unlock things in me spiritually that nothing else will unlock Malachi 3:10

Diocese of Bristol | The Good Giving Guide The Gift of Giving – R.T. Kendall “In other words, tithing does something for you spiritually. You will only ask, ‘why did I not start tithing sooner?’ It does something for you that cannot be explained in terms of material return. It sets you on a course to be more than you have been – more of what God wants you to be.”

Diocese of Bristol | The Good Giving Guide The two basic appeals The call to sacrificial giving is made on two fundamental foundations  God’s creation  God’s redemption

Diocese of Bristol | The Good Giving Guide God’s creation The creation as generous gift Tithing as a response to God’s generous gift “All things come from you O Lord and of your own do we give you.” 1 Chronicles 29:14

Diocese of Bristol | The Good Giving Guide God’s redemption Christian ethics (behaviour) are the ethics of RESPONSE In response to the love of God shown to us in the gift of His Son, Jesus who died to redeem the world. We are BOUGHT AT A PRICE Freely you have received, freely give Matt. 10:8

Diocese of Bristol | The Good Giving Guide Guidelines for good giving Sacrificially Faithfully Cheerfully Frequently Gradually Tax efficiently where possible Freely – We are called to GIVE not INVEST

Diocese of Bristol | The Good Giving Guide Most commonly asked questions Gross or net? To the local Church or where I like? What if I can’t afford it? What if my husband/wife is not a Christian? What do I teach my children? What about students?

Diocese of Bristol | The Good Giving Guide DO IT NOW! Review your attitudes to giving Review your level of giving Seek advice on ways of giving Respond to God’s generosity in creation and redemption by giving generously
