Worldly Giving and Godly Giving

How much thought do you give to the offering when your church gathers each Sunday? Is it a significant part of your worship, or is it merely a routine that you go through? In Mark 12:41–44, Jesus uses the seemingly insignificant—yet sacrificial—gift of a poor widow to challenge many of our practices and assumptions about giving and money. By God’s grace, our approach to giving can change when we realize that God already owns everything, including our money, and that giving to him is a privilege that should be motivated by his grace in the gospel. In this message, David Platt contrasts worldly giving with godly giving. 

Secret Church happens once a year, inspired by believers who gather at great cost. On April 17, over 50,000 believers from around the world will come together online to study the life of Elijah, pray for persecuted Christians and act together to make Jesus known among unreached places in the world. If you're able, we hope you join us. Register at radical.net/secretchurch.
