Theology of Giving
1.) We can’t serve both money and Jesus. |

Jesus said, “No one can serve two masters. For you will hate the one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money” (Luke 16:13).

We give our money to the people, places, and things we love and value. Jesus said, “Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be” (Matthew 6:21).
