Traditional Worship | Sunday October 5th, 2025
Description
The early Church in Acts 2 devoted themselves to five essential practices: worship, prayer, teaching, communion, and giving. While we've traditionally recognized the first four as spiritual practices, we've mistakenly categorized giving as merely financial. In reality, giving is just as spiritual as the others—it's a theological statement about who we believe God is. Jesus taught that following Him requires sacrifice and taking up our cross daily. Christianity isn't a low-demand, high-reward faith that costs nothing; it's about bringing heaven to earth through our generosity and sacrifice. Like King David who refused to offer God something that cost him nothing, our giving reflects our understanding of discipleship.
