“Giving Part 1” by Pastor Frederick K. Price delves into the biblical principles of giving within the context of the church. Drawing from both the Old and New Testaments, Pastor Price sheds light on the multifaceted purpose of giving:
  1. Acts 2:40-47 and 4:32-37 reveal that in the early days of the church, Jesus did not mandate the apostles to give away everything they owned. Instead, they voluntarily sold their properties and pooled the proceeds to meet the needs of the church community. This initial collection aimed to prevent anyone from experiencing lack (I Corinthians 16:1-2).
  2. Poor saints were another focus of the church’s financial support. The collection of money served to assist those in need (II Corinthians 9:1-15).
  3. Additionally, funds were allocated to ministry gifts (Galatians 6:6-10; I Corinthians 9:1-14). These resources ensured the well-being of those serving in various capacities within the church.
  4. Pastor Price emphasizes that the riches Christ bequeathed to the church far surpass worldly wealth. True prosperity encompasses not only material abundance but also the well-being of one’s soul (III John 1:1-12).
In summary, giving is a multifaceted act that extends beyond finances, encompassing care for others and nurturing spiritual abundance.
