Sunday School Mar. 16, 2014 The Point - Support God’s kingdom work with your income. The Passage - 2 Corinthians 8:1-9 The Application - Most of us were taught at a young age about the virtue of saving money. During uncertain economic times, this notion moves from being more than a virtue—it is a necessity. The virtuous nature of saving, though, dissipates when we hold on to our money and assets at the expense of others. We do not earn money just to have money; we earn money to meet our needs and the needs of others. The Setting - The churches in Macedonia had been collecting an offering to help with the needs of the poverty-stricken believers in Jerusalem. The church at Corinth was to participate in this offering, but Paul needed to encourage them to follow through with their gift. He used the example of the Macedonian churches, who gave out of their poverty, to challenge the Corinthians to excel in the grace of giving.
