Giving

Jesus is the most generous person who ever lived. He gave his life so that we might live. As Christians, we give our time, talent, and money joyfully in response to Jesus’ generosity and to help more people meet Jesus.

Giving cheerfully and sacrificially of our finances is part of our worship.
A believer labours not to accrue personal wealth or possessions, but to steward God's resources well and model Jesus to our brothers, sisters, and community. If you're a Christian outside our region who uses the website regularly and you feel compelled to give above and beyond the primary giving to your local Christian congregation and mission, we appreciate your support. Our work is an effort to serve our Father in all things, and one of the primary ways we serve God is by cheerfully giving God our “firstfruits” (2 Corinthians 9:7, Proverbs 3:9).

We call our members to give, not by meeting some obligatory percentage, but gladly sacrificing for the sake of the gospel because Jesus sacrificed for us, and all we have is his. We thank those who have helped us meet these needs and pray DaySpring Church would join in faithful, consistent, godly giving as Scripture instructs.

12 Reasons to Give Sacrificially

1. Giving releases the favour of God upon the giver.(2 Cor 8:1; Proverbs 22:1, 8:35, 12:2, 14:35, 19:12)
2. Giving, in spite of the affliction of poverty, produces great joy and releases supernatural provision. (2 Cor 8:2, Mark 12:41-44, 1 Kings 17:8-16, Luke 4:25-27)
3. Giving beyond one’s ability, without thought of oneself breaks the spirit of poverty. (2 Cor 8:3, 2 Samuel 24:24, Matthew 6:24)
4. Giving in spite of human restraints or human reasoning overcomes smallness of spirit. (2 Cor 8:4)
5. Giving sacrificially deepens dependence upon God as our only source of provision. (2 Cor 8:5, Philippians 4:19, Psalm 56:19)
6. Giving should be proportionate to one’s spiritual growth in other Christian virtues. (2 Cor 8:7)
7. Giving that completes commitments which started with inspired faith will establish deep conviction for lifetime giving. (2 Cor 8:8-12)
8. Giving is acceptable to God on the basis of the giver’s heart, not the giver’s amount. (2 Cor 8:12, 1 Samuel 16:7)
9. Giving allows the Holy Spirit to minister to our deficiency. (2 Cor 8:13-15)
10. Giving can be snared by delayed obedience brought about by postponement of generosity. (2 Cor 9:1-5; Exodus 22:29-30)
11. Giving is governed by the laws of harvest. (2 Cor 9:6, Proverbs 11:24, Genesis 8:22, Psalm 126:6, Galatians 6:9)
12. Giving with a joyful attitude pleases the heart of God. (2 Cor 9:7, Proverbs 22:9)

2 Corinthians 9:8-9
"And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 9 As it is written: ‘‘He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever.”
