Living Generously
A Heart Of
Worship
Here at Big Valley Grace, generous giving is so much more than meeting needs—it’s worship, it’s growing as disciples of Jesus, and it’s discovering joy together.
And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.
And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles.
And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need.
Acts 2:42–45
What Does It Mean to
Live Generously
It's all God's.
Everything we have comes from God. When we give back, we’re partnering with what He wants to do through us. Stewardship isn’t about what God wants from you—it’s about what He wants for you.
“The earth is the LORD’s and the fullness thereof.”
Psalm 24:1
Your Heart Matters More
Than Your Amount
Your
Heart Matters More Than Your Amount
God loves a cheerful giver.
God doesn’t need your money. He wants your heart. When you give with joy, recognizing His incredible love and provision, something beautiful happens—you become more like Jesus.
“Since God already owns it all, the question isn’t how much do I give, but how much do I keep?”
