Giving
As the Apostle Paul said to the Philippian church, so is our heart towards you as you consider giving to support the ministry at Smyer FBC: "Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that increases to your credit."
So why give?
To guard your heart against the deceitfulness of riches (Mark 4:19)
Because Jesus—who was rich—became poor to bring us to God (Philippians 2:5–11)
To support the care of your needy brothers and sisters (Acts 2:42–47)
To support ministers of the Gospel near and far (1 Timothy 5:17–18)
Out of joy at the glory of God's grace (2 Corinthians 9:6–9)
