1. What does it look like to make giving a spiritual discipline?

Regular, systematic giving, is the standard in Scripture. (1 Cor. 16:2)
• Generosity should be shown through offerings above and beyond a tithe. (1 Timothy 6:17‑19)
• Monetary giving is expected but should not replace giving of oneself. (Romans 12:1)
2. Why should I make giving a spiritual discipline? (2 Cor. 9:6‑15)

• Because a successful farmer looks for places to sow rather than trying to scrimp on the seed sown. (6)
• Because faithful and purposeful giving tugs on the heart strings of God. (7)
• Because God is the one who has provided the gift. (8‑11)
• Because giving results in God being glorified. (12‑14)
3. How can I make giving a spiritual discipline?

• Action: Determine to regularly and systematically give. (1 Cor. 16:2)
• Action: Look and ask for opportunities to give above and beyond your tithe. (1 Timothy 6:17‑19)
• Action: Give freely of your most valuable resource, time. (Romans 12:1)
