GIVE
The Joy of Generosity
“Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."
2 Corinthians 9:6-7
Why Give?
We believe the Church should set an example of generosity because our God is incredibly generous. As a community, we find joy in growing our faith and love by giving together. When you give, you're answering the call to live generously and allowing God to shape us into a faith-filled, loving, and hopeful community. Thank you for worshiping through your giving! Your gift helps FFBC continue spreading the gospel. Your generosity in giving to FFBC allows us to partner together in our mission to be a church where the Word of God is Taught, Learned, and Applied.
What is Tithing?
The Scriptures teach us this very important principle: the first of everything belongs to God. Tithing, which means we give God the first ten percent of our income, is the primary way we acknowledge that God is first in our lives. The word “tithe” literally means “tenth” or 10%. Tithing isn’t merely giving something to God. It’s giving back what was His to begin with. All that we have, or hope to have, comes from Him. The Scriptures teach us that tithing is a reminder that God is the supplier of everything. The Bible challenges us to put God first in our lives everyday.
“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it."
Malachi 3:10
