Why on earth should we give to the Church?

 

During the first three weeks of our services in March, the sermons across all of our services at Christ Church will focus on the subject of our financial giving. Unsurprisingly this is often a less than popular subject but it is also a vital one for a number of reasons. The Bible is clear that Christian giving is both act of obedience to God and an accurate guide to our response to his love and all that he given to us. But it is also very necessary in its response to the needs of the church and its mission and ministry. This very much includes the wider church with a good deal of this money supporting other churches within Southwark Diocese. 85% of the income of Christ Church is raised from the direct giving of its members, an amount which is currently very unevenly distributed. Our prayer is that these talks on different aspects of our responsibility to give, will inspire every member of Christ Church to review our giving and consider how God wants us to respond to the challenge to give back to him.
