What We Give Away Part 1

Share a comment

What does your giving say about your heart? In this message titled What We Give Away, Stephen Davey explores the final promise believers make to their local church: the promise to financially support it through faithful, cheerful, and sacrificial stewardship.

Drawing from passages like 2 Corinthians 8–9, Stephen shows that giving isn’t about obligation—it’s an act of worship and trust. From a child placing his necktie in the offering plate to the joyful generosity of churches in deep poverty, the examples he shares are both humorous and humbling.

Faithfulness means you give consistently. Cheerfulness means you give joyfully. Sacrifice means you give even when it costs you. And it’s all rooted in one key truth: God owns everything—you’re just managing His resources.

You’ll be challenged to evaluate your giving patterns, confront your assumptions, and rediscover the joy of supporting gospel work. This isn’t about guilt—it’s about growth. This message will inspire you to steward what you have for what truly lasts.
