On May 23, I encouraged all people who call Crosspoint their church home to a 3 month giving and tithe challenge. Well, it has been a little over a month since that date. How’s it going?
My encouragement was to commit to tithe for three months. Tithing means to give the first 10% of your income back to God and His work through the local church. If you’re already tithing, pray about giving more. Choose to step out in faith and be radically generous with what God has given you. Reinvest the blessings that you’ve received back into God’s Kingdom work. If God says test Him (Malachi 3:8-10), then test Him.
As your pastor, I absolutely love you. I love this church, I would die for the vision to reach more people with the Gospel. I want to see you get free from debt. I want you to serve and worship Jesus more than the almighty dollar. I want God’s business to flourish under your management. I want your life to reflect your Savior’s life. I want your life to reflect the grace of God. And God’s grace is generous, radical, loving, and other-oriented.
Imagine a church that is full of people who are totally committed and devoted to Jesus, who love one another and meet needs for one another, and who are driven to reach people with the life changing news of the Gospel. This is the vision of Crosspoint. This is our vision. It is yours and mine. You’re owners and partners in the vision. And I can’t wait to see what God does in our lives and in the life of this church in the coming months.
Continue to walk out your faith, and grow to trust in God’s provision. And as He provides and meets needs in your life, I’d love for you to share that. To give testimony of God’s grace and faithfulness in your life. I believe it would be a great encouragement to everyone!
Call, email, or talk to me if you’d like to share. Dave
