Giving Makes A Difference

Your giving makes an eternal difference in the Kingdom of God — both in the local church and in people’s lives. The apostle Paul states that giving to support God’s kingdom is an act of worship  as well as an act of  obedience.  It allows us to demonstrate that God is more important to us than material things.

“For where your treasure is, 
there your heart will be also.” –Matthew 6:21 

Tithing & Giving

Tithing & Giving is God’s plan for funding the local church so that the needs of people can be met, ministry can move forward, and God can be glorified. A tithe—which just means “tenth”— was a principle established by God in order to support the Levitical Priesthood.  The apostle Paul notes that our financial gifts should be intentional, sacrificial, regular, and most importantly, given with a joyful heart.

The Bible teaches often about the importance and benefits of giving offerings. We are to give as we are able. Sometimes that means giving above and beyond the tithe. Every Christian should diligently pray and seek God’s direction on when, how much, and how often to give. Above all, tithes and offerings should be given with pure motives with an attitude of worship to God and service to the body of Christ.

“Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” -2 Corinthians 9:7

We know tithing and giving is a huge step of obedience, but you’re not in it alone! We’re all on this journey together.

We get it. You are busy and constantly on the go. Giving can be a priority for you, without it being difficult to remember.

Between paying bills, scheduling family activities, and managing all the details of your life, giving can easily get put on the back burner. The truth is, it doesn’t have to be this way. Set up a recurring gift today and your gift can be automatically given in the frequency you choose.

Generosity Is A Journey.

This tool is designed to help you move from money being an idol, to money being a tool for God’s kingdom. Start by focusing on the condition of your heart, and open yourself to be transformed into the likeness of Jesus. Each step in this journey represents growth in your lifestyle of generosity and sacrifice. No matter where you are on the journey, your giving fuels the vision of Oasis. Our entire community is being impacted in a significant way because of you. 

Where are you on your generosity journey?

An initial giver is someone who decides to give for the first time as a response to God’s word about giving. The first time giver is learning to trust God and the leaders of the church with their giving.

Question to ask: God, do I trust you as my provider? Show me where to start in my giving, and may my giving be a demonstration of trust in you.

A consistent giver is someone who decides to give something and to give it on a consistent basis to learn the discipline of giving. Often, a person who makes their gift a “recurring gift” is learning the behavior of consistency and in doing so, is a supporter of the church.

Question to ask: The apostle Paul says we should excel in the grace of giving (2 Corinthians 8:7) God, am I giving on a consistent basis that shows my desire to excel in this area? Show me how to become more consistent and disciplined in my giving.

A Foundational Giver is committed to tithing – this is a contribution of the first 10% of their income to their local church. Tithing is a principle seen throughout the Bible, and it is an act of obedience, worship, and good stewardship of God’s money. The tithe is the foundational way in which God funds the local church, and impacts the world.

Question to ask: God, what’s holding me back from being the foundational giver that I want to be? Do I need to build my faith in you? Do I trust my church leaders? Teach me how to trust.

An intentional giver is someone who doesn’t just tithe, but thinks intentionally about their giving. His/her intentionality reflects how they prioritize giving in relation to other things on which they spend their money.

Question to ask: Do my choices about how I spend my money accurately reflect how I feel about God and his church? Or do some changes need to be made? God, show me what it looks like to recognize you as the one thing that drives everything in my life, including my financial decisions.

A surrendered giver is one who knows the power of the gospel and is fully surrendered. 100% of their resources belong to God. This person often goes above and beyond their regular tithes and offerings to advance the kingdom of God, and make a significant impact in their local church. This giving mindset isn’t concerned with what they ARE giving, but is more concerned with what they are NOT giving, and why. They seek to honor God with everything, whether money or any other resource God has given them.

Question to ask: God, what am I NOT giving, and why? God, show me what it looks like to truly honor you with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength.

A legacy giver is one who is thinking and praying about the legacy they are leaving. They aren’t necessarily consumed with the day to day, or the year to year. They’re thinking about the next generation who is coming after them. They make short term financial decisions with the longer term in mind. A legacy giver is driven by things of eternity, putting their hope in God and not in the things of this earth.

Question to ask: Do I make large resource decisions in light of my eternity, or in light of my time here on earth? God, 100 years from now when I’m dead and gone, allow my financial decisions today to impact generations to come.

“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” — Psalm 24:1


Budgeting and stewardship is about recognizing that everything we have belongs to God and that we are merely stewards (managers) of His resources. This includes how we earn, spend, save, give, and invest. Instead of living paycheck to paycheck or being consumed by materialism, set up a meeting with a Financial Coach to learn how to handle money in a way that honors God, blesses others, and secures our future.

Benefits:

  1. Peace of Mind – Eliminates financial stress and anxiety by ensuring money is handled wisely.
  2. Stronger Families & Marriages – Reduces financial conflicts between spouses and family members.
  3. Preparedness for Emergencies – Creates a financial safety net so unexpected events don’t cause crises.

“Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?” — Luke 14:28

Debt management is about regaining control of our finances, eliminating financial burdens, and honoring God with our resources. The Bible warns about the dangers of debt, as it can become a form of bondage that limits our ability to give, save, and live generously. A Financial Coach can help formulate strategic repayment plans that will help to break free from debt and ultimately experience financial peace.

Benefits:

  1. Financial Freedom – Eliminating debt brings peace and removes financial burdens.
  2. More Generosity – Without debt, we have more resources to bless others and give freely.
  3. Legacy for Future Generations – A debt-free life models wise money management for children and others.

“Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.” — Proverbs 6:6-8

Saving money is an act of wisdom and stewardship. The Bible encourages diligence, planning, and preparing for the future. While we trust in God’s provision, He also calls us to be responsible with what He has given us. Setup a session with a Financial Coach to discover how to effectively set aside resources for future needs and emergencies.

Benefits:

  1. Freedom from Debt – Having savings prevents reliance on credit cards, loans, or high-interest debt during emergencies.
  2. Preparedness for the Unexpected – Medical emergencies, job loss, or urgent expenses won’t derail our finances.
  3. Long-Term Financial Stability – Saving builds lasting wealth and a legacy for future generations.

“A good person leaves an inheritance for their children’s children, but a sinner’s wealth is stored up for the righteous.” — Proverbs 13:22

Although the Bible does not mention retirement in the modern sense, it does emphasize preparing for the future, leaving an inheritance, and continuing to serve God in our later years. Retirement planning is not just about financial security — it’s about ensuring we can continue to be good stewards, remain generous, and live out our God-given purpose without financial burden. Meet with a Financial Coach to help with retirement planning that focuses on financial independence, avoiding unnecessary stress on our families, and continuing to contribute to the Kingdom of God.

Benefits:

  1. Ability to Serve – Without financial burdens, we have the opportunities to serve God in new ways.
  2. No Burden on Family – Our children and relatives won’t have to financially support us during our retirement years.
  3. Opportunity to Mentor & Guide the Next Generation – With financial stability, we can invest time in discipling younger generations.

“Invest in seven ventures, yes, in eight. You do not know what disaster may come upon the land.” — Ecclesiastes 11:2

The Bible encourages wise stewardship and multiplication of resources. In the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30), Jesus praises the servants who invested and multiplied what they were given but rebukes the one who buried his talent out of fear.

Learn the right way to invest with guidance from a Financial Coach. Investing is not about greed or quick wealth but about responsibly growing resources to provide for our families, serve others, and expand God’s Kingdom.

Benefits:

  1. Protection Against Inflation & Economic Downturns – Thoughtful investments help safeguard against financial crises.
