I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. John 17:14-15 (ESV)
My brothers and sisters, as you follow through with me every Wednesday, staying in the Word of God and in prayer along with spending time in the presence of the Lord will help us guard against any influence affecting the accuracy of our spiritual compass. Amen!
– Pastor John Punni

Live to Give Series for October 2026
35 In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
Acts 20:35
Giving is the Christian way of living. It involves more than money, for we give ourselves to the Lord and to each other as we use the gifts that God has given to us to serve one another. We give our time, energy, interest, concern, prayers and hospitality, anything we have that could be used for the benefit of others. However, it does include giving money and that is what I am writing about.
Giving is an attitude of heart and mind that is expressed in actions. We do not wait till there is need before we look for opportunity to give. Generosity lies at the heart of the Christian message. We are saved by grace to be gracious, saved by generosity to be generous—not just with our money but with our very selves. Giving is therefore second nature to Christians—it’s something we normally do, expect to do, plan to do, even look forward to doing. So, we must make choices in directing our giving as we ask: “What does God want me to do with the money He has given to me?”
In this 4-week “Live to Give” series, we’ll explore some starting principles for the direction of Christian giving. We are never more like Jesus than when we are busily engaged in the act of giving. Therefore, start living! Start giving! Amen!
