We give in order to show that God is worth more than our money.  We give in order to fuel the work of our church in our congregation, our city, and around the world.  Ultimately, we give because Jesus has given to us (2 Cor. 8:9).  Giving generously is a responsibility of every member of our church who is able--and may also be good financial stewardship for those who are already faithfully giving to their own churches.
