1 Chronicles 29:16-19 “Giving Activates the Heart in Prayer for the Next Generation…”

Giving activates the heart in prayer for the next generation! Today, Pastor Andy connects Old Testament temple giving to New Testament principles of generosity. He covers a diverse set of important giving methods at church, including benevolence funds, missions support, and gospel funding.

Pastor Andy also describes the three seasons of adulthood as it relates to money:

The earliest season focuses on discipline.

The middle season emphasizes experiencing generous giving.

The later season in life involves strategic kingdom investment.

The sermon challenges listeners to trust God with their finances. God owns everything we have. Our will and heart determine whether we build His kingdom or our own.
