Local Church Budget
February 7, 2015
Available Language(s):
A local church functions because the members follow the leading of the Holy Spirit and exhibit an attitude of respect and love for others. Often, individuals who were once strangers become part of a church family that worships and works together. Such a group becomes a strong spiritual body and is able to meet all challenges. That is why the Apostle Paul writes, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Roman 8:31, NIV). These wonderful promises keep us spiritually strong.
Our attitude about offerings is also an indicator of our spiritual strength. The Bible makes it clear that the spirit with which we give is more important than how much we give.
Today the offering is for our church—for the programs, ministries, and needs of the congregation. Let us rejoice that we are a part of this congregation and that we have the opportunity to help support it with our financial gifts.
