“Grow to Give”
Malachi 3:6-10a (CSB)
Key Truth: “Giving is a part of growing because stewardship is a part of discipleship.”
Main Question: What can we learn about giving which might help us grow to become better stewards of the resources God has given us?
1. God has not changed, but is faithful. (Malachi 3:6-7a)
2. We are a selfish people. (Malachi 3:7b-9)
a. A Christ-follower is to give “according to their means” or “out of what they have.” (2 Cor. 8:12)
b. Giving is also to be a priority and in proportion to earnings. (1 Cor. 16:2)
3. We are to grow to be generous in our giving.
(Malachi 3:10a)
After the Message:
Read Malachi 3:6-10a. Pray and ask God to reveal what you might be “robbing” from Him. Is it your “tithes and offerings”, your time, your service, or maybe even your trust in His provision? Ask Him to show you some practical ways to live out your obedience to Him this week through giving.
