Discipleship Training Essentials Session 10 - New Covenant Giving

Discipleship Training Essentials – Session 10: New Covenant Giving Welcome to the enlightening journey of New Covenant Giving, our tenth session in the Discipleship Training Essentials series. In this session, we dive deep into the spiritual practice of giving, guided by the teachings of Jesus and the New Testament. Our aim is to encourage and support biblical giving among Christians, freeing us from the guilt and condemnation of old covenant mindsets. Embrace Cheerful Giving 2 Corinthians 9:7 reminds us to give as we purpose in our hearts, not grudgingly or out of necessity. God loves a cheerful giver! This session encourages giving without hesitation or regret, emphasizing the importance of making the decision to give freely, without external pressure. Beyond Monetary Contributions Giving extends beyond financial offerings. As stated in 1 Peter 4:10, we are called to serve one another with our God-given gifts. Acts of kindness, volunteering, and using our talents to bless others are all expressions of giving. Whether it's helping an elderly neighbor or volunteering at a community center, our time and talents make a difference. Compassion for All 1 John 3:17 challenges us not to close our hearts to those in need. True giving includes helping all people, especially fellow Christians, as highlighted in Galatians 6:10. We should actively seek opportunities to do good and contribute to the needs of the saints, as Romans 12:13 commands. Giving Without Expectation Luke 6:38 and Luke 6:35 guide us to give without expecting anything in return. Our motivation should be joy and fulfillment, not reward. Love your enemies and do good, even to the unthankful, as a reflection of God's kindness. The Humility of Secret Giving In Matthew 6:3-4, Jesus teaches us to give humbly and in secret, without seeking recognition. Our Father, who sees in secret, will reward us. We give because we are blessed, not to gain blessings. The Gift of Listening James 1:19 and Proverbs 18:13 highlight the importance of listening as a form of giving. Being present and allowing others to share their feelings fosters compassion and deeper connections. Support for the Gospel 2 Corinthians 9:10 assures us that God will supply and multiply our resources for giving, particularly in support of spreading the Gospel and nurturing discipleship. As Hebrews 13:16 states, sharing what we have pleases God. Join us in this session to discover the joy and fulfillment that comes from giving with a heart aligned with God's Word.
