-------------------

A Christian’s motivation to give ought to be out of love for God and what He has done for them. In this message we look at Jesus's perspective of giving through His observation of the widow woman who "of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living." Even though she was poor she did not use it as an excuse not to honor the Lord. She gave willingly and liberally.

Likewise, because God has given so much to us through salvation and a multitude of daily blessings, we ought to recognize that He is worthy and so cheerfully return a portion of our resources to Him.
