Giving
At Cross Bridge, we are joyful and generous in our giving, because we see it as an act of worship, and a way for us to bring back to God's work a portion of what He has entrusted us to manage. The link below will direct you to our giving page.

Getting Started
Look over your notes. Is there one thing from Sunday’s message that particularly stood out to you, challenged you, or you have questions about?
If someone were to look at the way you spend your money and time, what do you think they would say you value in your heart?
To commit 6 hours a week (a tithe of your 62 hours of discretionary time) to the Lord, most of us would need to reorder and reprioritize our lives. Are you willing to do that?
Going Deeper in God’s Word
Read 1 Timothy 6:17-18, Ephesians 2:8-10, Luke 9:23, and Matthew 5:14-16.How have the good deeds of others in your church helped you spiritually and in times of need? How can this understanding cause us to use our good deeds to help others?
Read Luke 12:16-21 and 1 Timothy 6:17-19. In what situations do you find yourself most often being a bad rich person? What are you going to do to change this?
Where Scripture Meets Life
Which of these do you need to focus on - being rich in good deeds or generosity? What are you going to do about it?
Think about this...We’re all tempted to place our faith in money. We’re tempted to believe that if we make enough, we’ll be able to control our circumstances and create a better life for ourselves. The problem with that view is that the more we place our faith in money, the more it controls us. Scripture challenges us to look at our money differently because our lives are better when we place our trust in the One who richly provides. Viewing wealth through the lens of eternity loosens our grip on money and its grip on us. Because of this, how can this group, “think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.” Hebrews 10:24
