At TSECC we believe that giving is a privilege, giving is a way to participate in God’s work and to share in His blessings. We believe that everything we have, including our time, talents, and resources, ultimately belongs to God, and that giving back to Him is an act of worship and obedience.
Giving is seen as a way to support the work of the church and to provide for those in need, as well as a way to express gratitude for the many blessings that God has provided. Giving is also seen as an opportunity to grow in faith and to trust God more fully, recognizing that He is the ultimate provider and sustainer of all things.
The idea that giving is a privilege is rooted in the biblical principle of stewardship, which emphasizes the idea that God has entrusted us with His resources, and that we are called to use them wisely and for His purposes. As such, giving is seen as a way to participate in God’s plan for the world and to make a difference in the lives of others.
Ultimately, the idea that giving is a privilege reflects the belief that God is at work in the world, and that we have the privilege and responsibility of joining Him in that work through our giving and our service.
