How much should I give?

Many times giving in the Bible (Old and New Testament) is referenced in terms of percentages. A “tithe” (10%) of our income is generally a good place to start. For some, 10% sounds like a lot of money, and they choose to start at a lower percentage and increase that amount over time. Many others choose to give with radical generosity and give well above 10%. Everyone who attends a local church should see themselves as contributor to that local body; finances is one of the ways we can be generous. Giving, resources the church and blesses the giver.

A sample of Bible verses on generosity.

But just as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in your love for us —see that you also excel in this grace of giving. (2 Corinthians 8:7)

A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. (Proverbs 11:25)

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Matthew 6:21)
