Giving - Ocean Lakes Church

Jesus spoke more about money than prayer and life combined. 2 Corinthians 9: 7 and 2 Corinthians 8:12 tell us to give what we can and want. Did you know that this is the only act in which God tells us to test Him? Malachi 3:10 God says it will lead to more blessings if we trust in Him. 2 Corinthians 9:11 and Luke 6:38 tells us the act of generosity is rewarded. As we grow in our relationship with Christ, we find out that giving doesn’t just benefit others; it benefits the giver as well, 2 Corinthians 9:10. Giving honors God, Exodus 35:22, and makes God happy when we share what we have with others, Hebrews 13:16. The idea of giving 10% of one’s income first comes from Genesis 14:19-20, and Leviticus 27:30 explains because God gives blessings to us, we should give a portion–tithe– back to God to say thank you. Tithes and offerings should be looked upon as a thank you to God for all the blessings He can provide to others through our contributions. In return, God sends blessings to us by showing us that generosity is a type of wealth that goes beyond financial gain.

Your financial support allows us to continue to bless others and spread the love of Christ in our community and beyond. There are Several Ways to Give:

The Offering Plate:

The offering plate is placed at the sound booth during each service. You are welcome to give as you are able- Tithe and offering envelopes are located in the vestibule.
