Why Church? | Part 4 - Why Give? (Be Rich)

Why give?

We live in a culture that constantly asks, “What’s my return on investment?” When we have extra money, time or resources, our instinct is often to hold onto it or use it to make our own lives more comfortable.

But Jesus offers us a radically different way to live.

In 1 Timothy 6, we’re challenged not to put our trust in money, but to be rich in good works, generous to those in need and ready to share. In this message, Alistair explores how generosity confronts our assumption that everything that comes to us must be for us—and how using our extra for the good of others allows us to participate in bringing God’s Kingdom into our city.

As part of Be Rich, we have an opportunity to put this into practice together: giving generously and partnering with local organisations already doing life-changing work in our community.
