WHAT DO YOU WANT TO GIVE TODAY?
You can give by reason, or you can give by revelation. To give by reason is to figure out reasonably what you think you can give, and that doesn’t require any faith at all. GIVE BY FAITH!
IF YOU ARE GIVING BY CASH OR A CHECK, OFFERING ENVELOPES ARE BY THE FRONT DOOR.
Scriptures
📖 Romans 8:29 (NIV)
“For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son,
that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.”
📖 Hebrews 2:10–11 (NIV)
“In bringing many sons and daughters to glory,
it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists,
should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered.Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family.
So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters.”
📖 Deuteronomy 21:15-17 (NIV)
15 If a man has two wives, and he loves one but not the other, and both bear him sons but the firstborn is the son of the wife he does not love, 16 when he wills his property to his sons, he must not give the rights of the firstborn to the son of the wife he loves in preference to his actual firstborn, the son of the wife he does not love. 17 He must acknowledge the son of his unloved wife as the firstborn by giving him a double share of all he has. That son is the first sign of his father’s strength. The right of the firstborn belongs to him.
📖 Psalm 89:27 (NIV)
“And I will appoint him to be my firstborn,
the most exalted of the kings of the earth.”
📖 Colossians 1:15-16 (NIV)

📖 1 Corinthians 15:45–49 (NIV)
45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”[a]; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. 46 The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. 47 The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven. 48 As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven. 49 And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we[b] bear the image of the heavenly man.
