LifeGROUP 5

Week 5: December 410

The main focus for your giving should be your Local Church & Ministry
God is deeply concerned of His worker.
1. It is our way of honoring Gods servants.
1 Corinthians 9:11-14 If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you?Dont you know that those who work in the temple get their food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar share in what is offered on the altar? In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel. 1 Timothy 5:17,18 Pastors who do their work well should be paid well and should be highly appreciated, especially those who work hard at both preaching and teaching. For the Scripture says, Do not muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain, and The worker deserves his wages.

2. It is our way of supporting Gods servants.

1 Corinthians 9:10 Christian workers should be paid by those they help. Those who do the plowing and threshing should expect some share of the harvest. Galatians 6:6 Those who are taught the Word of God should help their teachers by paying them.

3. It is our way of providing for Gods servants.

Deuteronomy 12:19 Be careful not to neglect the Levites (ministers) as long as you live in your land.

No church ever has a money problem, only a faithfulness problem. Brian Kluth

What We WONT Do in This Campaign
1. We will not pressure anyone to give.
Each one should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under pressure, for God loves a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:7

2. We will not mix giving with personal promotions.

Sell my product to the church & Ill give or I will tithe.

3. We will not sell junk.

David I will not sacrifice an offering that costs me nothing." 1 Chronicles 21:26

What We WILL DO Without Apology

1. We will show how everyone can give something. It is a myth that some people cant give anything. (Mark 12:43)
There are many ways to give - if one is willing to give. Even those with no cash can make a commitment to give.

2. We will ask people to sacrifice.

You cannot become like Christ without learning to sacrifice, and certainly the Body of Christ is worth sacrificing for. To SACRIFICE means to willingly give the best I have for a greater purpose. While we all cannot give the same amount, we all can sacrifice somehow. This way everyone can have a part.

3. We will be grateful to be a part of what God is doing in our church.

Isnt it a joy for you to be part of what God is doing here at His Life? Come to think of it? God is so so so GOOOOOOD!

CREATIVE WAYS to INCREASE Your GIVING

Here are some UNLIMITED and Creative ways that could help you with your GIVING commitment this 2011 UNLItnX Campaign:
1. Minimize EATING OUT for the next few weeks. SAVE THAT CASH to be added to your CASH GIFT on November 27 Thanksgiving Sunday! 2. Hold a personal GARAGE SALE. You probably have a garage or closet full of unused items that could be converted into CASH. 3. If your schedule allows you, TAKE A PART TIME JOB. 4. Have everyone in your family locate the SPARE CHANGE in your house and begin collecting it all in one giant piggy bank (and let the children give that with JOY). 5. POSTPONE A MAJOR PURCHASE for a few more months in order to save for your Cash Gift. 6. Make CRAFTS AND SELL them to raise ADDITIONAL CASH for your GIFT. 7. Try the BUY AND SELL business. There are many opportunities for just a small kind of trade that will not distract you from your current job example: Eloads, Cell Cards, Clothing, Food, Butingtings, pa-KILO Junk, and other services (Car Washing, Tutorial, Wellness Services, Concert for a Cause, Organizing a Sports EVENT for a Cause, and a thousand MORE IDEAS).

WISDOM: Basically, there are TWO BASIC approaches to finding MORE CASH to GIVE:
1) Look for ways to REDUCE your expenses. 2) Look for ways to INCREASE your income. By using a combination of these two during the next month, youll BE ABLE TO GIVE MORE CASHE than you thought. Be CREATIVE! LET IDEAS FLOW!

Imagine if 2000 families in our church each found an extra P 700 cash to give through these ideas that alone would TOTAL TO 1.4 MILLION PESOS over and above their GOAL! WOW!
