Next Steps, Give to the Mission, Chris Massey-2.8.2026

Everyone has a next step to take:

• Gather with the FAMILY
• Get in a GROUP
• Grow your FAITH
• Give to the MISSION

The New Testament and the early Church creeds do not contain a specific command to tithe. Does it apply to God’s people today?

GENEROSITY IS A HEART ISSUE Matthew 25:41-46 NLT

LIFE IS NOT ABOUT GAINING WEALTH. IT’S ABOUT GIVING GENEROUSLY. Ecclesiastes 2:18-20 NLT

NT Generosity Principles:

• Everything in Common – Acts 2:45
• End of Poverty – Acts 4:32-35
• Tested by Fire – 1 Cor 3:12-15
• Realistic Generosity – 2 Cor 8:12-15
• Cheerful Generosity – 2 Cor 9:7-15
• Purposeful Wealth – 1 Tim 6:17-19
• Pleasing Generosity – Heb 13:16

You cannot take your wealth and possessions into eternity with you; only your generosity.

SACRIFICIAL GENEROSITY PROVES WE HAVE THE HEART OF JESUS Hebrews 13:14-16 NLT

GIVE TO THE MISSION. Challenging yourself to be generous aligns your heart with God’s Mission
