End of the year giving
October 24, 2019
I’m Miriam Neff-with STARTING OVER FINANCIALLY,-and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, and we’re here to talk about money
M Why talk about end of the year giving in October? Because its biblical. Paul in II Corinthians 8 and 9 talks about planning ahead. He has let the Macedonians and Corinthians know of the needs of the jewish christians in Jerusalem.
V Paul says start collecting before he arrives. He challenges the Corinthians that the poorer Macedonians have been quite generous. He reminds them that they determine in their hearts whether they will sow sparingly or bountifully. They are reminded that you reap what you sow.
M Plan, my friends. There are many needs and you will hear many asks. Pray, be prepared, sow bountifully to show God your heart.
