1. Honoring God with our finances means we are giving him PRIORITY. We give our first and best because God is first and went first. We literally put our money where our mouth is.

2. When we give in this way, we are mirroring the gospel. The gospel is a picture of first-fruits. God freely gave his first and best in Jesus. God initiated. We received. Now we mirror with our finances.

As we enter into this new season in life of Restoration, want to challenge you to begin to pray about how God would have you participate in this initiative over the next 3 years, commitment Sunday October 31 – how does God want to use you to see more people encounter Jesus, uncover their Ephesians 210 calling, and become a part of changing the world? What would it be like to be a part of building something that will be used to change the landscape of our community for generations to come?
