Biblical Giving, part 1

When many people hear the subject of giving, they immediately think about money. But in this opening message, Pastor Cole shows that biblical giving begins much deeper than our finances—it begins with our hearts.

Introducing Paul's teaching in 2 Corinthians 8–9, this sermon establishes the foundation for the entire series by explaining that everything believers possess has been entrusted to them by God. Rather than viewing giving as an obligation or a financial transaction, Scripture presents it as an act of worship flowing from a life transformed by God's grace.

As the series begins, listeners are challenged to examine whether they truly see themselves as owners of their possessions or faithful stewards of everything God has provided.
