Give Because God Goes With You
Oct 25, 2026 • Dr. Andrew Thompson
Everything that matters most in life is rooted in relationship. Before we even know ourselves as individuals, we know ourselves in relation to others. And at the deepest level, we are made for relationship with God Himself.
In Genesis 28:20-22, Jacob wakes from his dream of a heavenly ladder and responds to God's promises with a vow, pledging a tenth of everything back to the One who gave him everything. His giving was not duty. It was the overflow of a relationship. That is the heart of stewardship. We give because God first gave to us, most extravagantly in His Son, Jesus Christ, who died for our sins that we might have life. Our generosity is simply our answer to His.
