WHAT IS SEEK FIRST?
April 2024 – April 2026
Seek First is a two-year discipleship journey and invitation to take your next steps in seeking God first, His kingdom and His righteousness as outlined in Matthew 6:33.
WHY GIVE?
We experience the generosity of our Lord, through the greatest gift of Christ. As we enjoy His grace, we seek to embody love to our church and community through the generosity of our church. Through the resources God has given us and our church, we are able to resource ministry work, and engage our culture through generously resourcing missions in the Bay Area and beyond. Since we know all things belong to Him, we can trust in that when we give cheerfully, abundantly and sacrificially.
“One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want. Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.”
PROVERBS 11:24-35
OUR 4 GENEROSITY PRINCIPLES
1. Our generosity is motivated by the fact that Jesus is first in all things
Matthew 6:33, Colossians 1:15-20
2. Treasures on earth are temporal and fleeting, while Kingdom investments last forever
Matthew 6:19-21, 2 Corinthians 9:10-15, 1 Timothy 6:17-19
3. Generosity is our privilege, and we give out of joy, not out of obligation.
2 Corinthians 9:6-9, Luke 12:32-34, Matthew 6:1-4
4. Biblical giving is sacrificial, systemic, and thoughtful
Malachi 3:10, 2 Corinthians 8:1-5
