SETTING THE FOUNDATION FOR GENEROSITY & DEVELOPING A GENEROUS HEART

The key to unlocking generosity is honor and obedience, and this begins with tithing. As pastors, it would be wrong for us to tell our congregations to give to Kingdom Builders without first teaching them to tithe.

When we get this foundation right, everything follows. Most often we dial into the analytics of tithe and above and beyond giving, but generosity begins in the heart. When we disciple our congregations to discover the joy in giving, their heart posture changes and they are ready to take that step into becoming a Kingdom Builder. Here are some practical ways we begin developing generous hearts in our church:

∙ Teach about tithing on the tithe - 10% of our tithe goes to monthly missions support.

∙ Host 5-Spots with missionaries on Sundays5 minute highlights before offering.

“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.”

Apply It

If your church gave 10% of your tithe to AGWM, how much money would you be giving for monthly mission support?
