Podcasts about church giving

In this message, Pastor Karl walks through Matthew 19, where the Pharisees approach Jesus with pointed questions about divorce — testing him against the competing rabbinic schools of Shammai and Hillel. Rather than settling the debate on their terms, Jesus redirects them to God's original design for marriage from Genesis, addressing not just the surface question but the deeper issue underneath it: a hardened heart that looks for loopholes instead of surrendering to God's standard.Pastor Karl unpacks what Scripture teaches about marriage, divorce, and remarriage with pastoral care and honesty about how difficult these teachings can be to live out. He also explores the chapter's turn toward children, and the story of the rich young ruler — a man who came asking about religious righteousness but was really wrestling with money and control.The big idea: Jesus confronts the hardness of our hearts because his kingdom calls for commitment and sacrifice, while our natural tendency is to search for loopholes and excuses. This message is an invitation to let Scripture rebuke, correct, and train us — and to rely on the power of God's Spirit rather than our own willpower to live faithfully.Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Key Takeaways Giving is finally outpacing inflation, providing encouraging news for churches.Participation in giving is increasing, particularly among Millennials and Gen Z.Younger generations are giving more frequently, but their average gifts remain significantly smaller than those of previous generations.The greatest challenge facing churches today is not fundraising—it is stewardship discipleship.Most churches lack a comprehensive discipleship strategy that helps people grow from first-time givers to generous disciples.Fifty percent of people who gave in 2022 did not give again to the same church by 2025, revealing a significant retention challenge.Many churches excel at welcoming first-time guests but fail to acknowledge and encourage first-time givers.Churches need a shared theology and common language around stewardship, tithing, offerings, and generosity.Financial stewardship should be taught consistently, not just during annual giving campaigns.Stories of generosity should reflect every stage of the giving journey, not just large gifts from wealthy donors.Security and contentment are discipleship issues that directly influence generosity.Churches must intentionally disciple younger generations if they hope to sustain future ministry.Dependence on a small percentage of high-capacity donors continues to increase and presents a long-term risk.Stewardship conversations are ultimately about heart transformation, not simply meeting a budget.ResourcesMortarstone Website - https://mortarstone.com/Get the Annual Giving Report - https://mortarstone.com/annual-generosity-report-landingLearn about the Christian Stewardship Network - https://www.christianstewardshipnetwork.com/Become a CSN member - https://membership.christianstewardshipnetwork.com/

CTL Script/ Top Stories of November 21st Publish Date: November 21st   Pre-Roll: From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast  Today is Friday, November 21st and Happy Birthday to Stan The Man Musial I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Times Journal Greater Church giving away free turkeys and groceries Sunday Woodstock joins Cherokee Regional Land Bank Authority Lawmakers consider paring tax credits and exemptions to offset income tax cuts Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on rice We’ll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you’re looking for Community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  Commercial: STRAND THEATRE STORY 1: Greater Church giving away free turkeys and groceries Sunday Greater Church is spreading some holiday cheer this Sunday with a giveaway of 300 turkeys and grocery bags. The event, part of their annual Friendsgiving, kicks off after the 11:15 a.m. service at 5744 Bells Ferry Road. While attending the service isn’t required, it guarantees you’ll snag a turkey and groceries—one per family, first come, first served. No ID needed, just show up and register onsite for food bank records. Supplies are limited, so don’t wait too long! Greater Church also runs a food pantry on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. For details, visit www.greater.church/FRIENDSGIVING. STORY 2: Woodstock joins Cherokee Regional Land Bank Authority Woodstock has officially joined the Cherokee Regional Land Bank Authority, following a unanimous vote by the city council on Nov. 17. A land bank, for those unfamiliar, is a tool to redevelop abandoned or blighted properties—no eminent domain involved. It can accept property donations, acquire land, and work with nonprofits or private groups to create affordable housing or boost economic development. Cherokee County and Canton formed the authority in August, and now Woodstock is on board. Holly Springs is still considering joining, with a decision expected next month. The land bank’s board includes representatives from each member jurisdiction, plus appointees from the Cherokee Office of Economic Development and at-large members. Woodstock will appoint its representative in December. Board meetings will be public, and jurisdictions will get advance notice of any property acquisitions. STORY 3: Lawmakers consider paring tax credits and exemptions to offset income tax cuts Georgia lawmakers are seriously talking about ditching the state income tax—$16 billion worth of revenue—and replacing it by slashing $30 billion in tax credits and exemptions. Bold move, right? “It’s not if, it’s when,” said Sen. Blake Tillery, who’s leading the charge. “This is about staying competitive.” Supporters like economist Arthur Laffer called income taxes “growth killers” and praised states like Tennessee for ditching them. But critics, like Sen. Nan Orrock, warned that sales taxes—often the fallback—hit low-income folks and retirees hardest. The debate? Far from over. Stay tuned. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info.    We’ll be right back. Break: Ingles Markets 3 STORY 4: Warriors withstand late rally, knock off Knights  Even with a few key players sidelined, Cherokee stayed unbeaten Tuesday night, grinding out a 65-46 win over River Ridge. But don’t let the final score fool you—this one got tight late. Cherokee (2-0), missing standout forward Sean Hamilton, saw a 20-point fourth-quarter lead shrink to 10 with just over two minutes left. But the Warriors clamped down defensively, holding River Ridge to one basket the rest of the way. “We started strong, but we’ve got to play a full game,” said Cherokee coach Joe Veihman. “We got sloppy in the second half—missed chances, gave them open looks. Still, we’re learning.” River Ridge (1-1), led by new coach LeRonnice Davis, showed fight despite the loss. “The little things killed us—rebounds, free throws, turnovers,” Davis said. “But we battled. These games will make us better.” Braylon Luster poured in 30 points for Cherokee, while Brandon Flint led River Ridge with 27, including six threes. Next up: Cherokee heads to Creekview and River Ridge visits Etowah. STORY 5: 2 sentenced for 3-hour Cherokee County armed SWAT standoff Two men are headed to prison after pleading guilty to charges stemming from a tense, hours-long armed standoff with law enforcement in Ball Ground back in 2021. Jeffrey Leighton Danner, 35, of Alabama, pleaded guilty but mentally ill to multiple charges, including aggravated assault on officers. He was sentenced to 50 years, with 20 behind bars. Kaleb Hunter Kirkland, 27, also from Alabama, pleaded guilty earlier this year and received the same sentence—though he’ll serve 25 years in confinement. It all started on Feb. 28, 2021, when police spotted a vehicle tied to violent crimes in Alabama. A chase ensued, ending in the woods. Shots were fired at officers (thankfully, no injuries), and SWAT was called in. Kirkland, armed with a rifle, was shot after ignoring commands, while Danner was arrested without incident. “These sentences hold them fully accountable,” said District Attorney Susan Treadaway, praising law enforcement’s bravery.

Pastor Josh Laryea; a preacher of the Gospel of the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.Kindly Listen to this edition of Grace PillsTitle: My Local Church and I (Ministry in the Local Church) | Giving A | Part 13C (LXXXVI) | Grace Pills | w/ Pastor Josh Laryea

In this sermon, Pastor Devin discusses the biblical principle of stewardship, emphasizing that we are managers, not owners, of what God has given us. He traces the concept of tithing from Abraham (400 years before the Law) through the Old Testament, showing it was a covenant relationship with God rather than just a legal obligation. The pastor clarifies that tithing isn't about God needing our money but about our heart posture and obedience. He addresses common misconceptions about tithing being only an Old Testament concept by showing Jesus' affirmation of it and its practice in the early church.Everything we have belongs to God; we are managers, not owners of our resources.Tithing was established as a principle of faith and trust in God before it became law, showing it's about relationship, not just obligation.Our attitude toward money reveals our heart posture toward God and our level of trust in His provision.Stewardship isn't just about an amount—it's about allegiance and obedience to God.God promises to meet our needs when we faithfully steward what He has given us.Support the show

Summer may evoke feelings of financial freedom or feelings of dread as air conditioners go out, cars need to be worked on, and other miscellaneous circumstances come up.  In this episode re-release , we address questions like, "What does it look like to give generously in hard times?" and "Do I need financially give or is giving of my time enough?" Join us as we look at our call as Christians when it comes to giving financially and generously no matter the life situation.

The Southern Baptist Convention has historically been one of the largest conservative Christian organizations within the country. We're currently seeing another battle occur within the convention over feminism and women pastors. The battle isn't over yet. Feminism and egalitarianism are gigantic forces in America, and they're affecting the churches. Kevin and Bill Jack discuss the issues of feminism and women pastors in American churches on this edition of the program.

The New Church has many amazing truths, truths that we can be grateful to have found. They give us insight into life and inspire us to grow spiritually. But sometimes we get so caught up in having the truth that we lose sight of the purpose. But there is no point in having the truth if we don't live it; and one of the ways we live it is by sharing it with others. The truth of the New Church is a gift that has been freely given from the Lord; and it is incumbent on us to freely share it with others.

Thom has heard from many church leaders about this question. He shares what will be the likely consensus in most churches. The post Is Your Church Giving Raises in 2024? appeared first on Church Answers.

In Jesus, we have received a new heart, spirit, outlook on life, new way of living and that includes how material resources are handled. The early church excelled in the grace of giving. It was in response to what Jesus has done. The generosity of the Holy Spirit resulted in their generosity to one another. An act of worship yielding everything to the Lord.

Welcome to a thought-provoking episode of The Church Revitalization Podcast, where we delve into the complex paradox facing churches in the post-pandemic era. In this episode we explore the intriguing dichotomy of increasing church giving and attendance juxtaposed with declining pastoral morale. We kick off with an in-depth analysis of recent findings from the Hartford Institute for Religion Research. Listen as we unpack the statistics that reveal a substantial rise in church donations and a modest decline in attendance, highlighting the resilience of our faith communities in adapting to the digital era. Yet, beneath this optimistic surface, we uncover a concerning trend - a significant number of pastors are battling disillusionment and fatigue, contemplating leaving their current positions or even the ministry altogether. Our episode takes a closer look at the challenges behind the pulpit. We discuss the multifaceted roles of pastors and church leaders, who serve not only as spiritual guides but also as administrators and community leaders. The episode sheds light on how the pandemic has intensified these responsibilities, leading to emotional and spiritual tolls that are often invisible to congregations. Then, we shift our focus to practical solutions and strategies to enhance pastoral morale. We emphasize the importance of building personal connections beyond the church, seeking external leadership help, and prioritizing self-care, including Sabbath observance, vacations, and family time. These strategies are presented as essential steps to sustain the spiritual and emotional health of those who lead our faith communities. Join us for a riveting conversation that goes beyond the surface of church statistics. This episode of The Church Revitalization Podcast is a must-listen for church leaders, congregants, and anyone interested in the future of our faith communities. Discover insights, solutions, and a call to action to support and uplift our pastors, ensuring the vitality and resilience of our churches in these challenging times.

During economic uncertainty, people start adjusting their financial choices, including their generosity. The reality for most church members is that they are working with fewer resources than before due to inflation. At the same time, given their limited resources, they're trying to achieve what they believe is the greatest good possible through their giving. And, according to giving data a significant number are choosing to give to religious causes other than their church. In this episode, we're talking with Carl Tierney from Vision 2 to understand how churches can improve both their communication around giving and the financial discipleship of their members.

Did you know, in the next decade, that most people will be holding their wealth in non-cash assets instead of their checking & savings accounts? This shift is crucial for the local church to understand, especially when it comes to giving encouragement. As times change, we must adapt our approach to align with the evolving financial realities of our congregation.

The battle for truth is real, and something that many parents whose children are questioning their gender are clinging on to. Governor Ron DeSantis has new laws set to take effect in Florida that support parents, and while some question the support of those laws others are looking to come alongside a community that is hurting as these battles continue. Dr. Kathy provides great encouragement for families, and gives us a picture of how these battles are ones our larger communities should engage and support those who are wounded in them.

Question #2 (10:44): Brady, can't companies just charge what they want? Question #3 (12:45): Brady, aren't you just talking about this because your company stands to make money? Question #4 (33:25): Brady, this isn't a good luck. Why attack a company like this in public? The Church needs to unite as one, not divide itself.

Take a look at 3 ways to increase giving in your church. Spoiler alert: there is no magic, but there are strategies. We've worked with a lot of churches, and some are blessed with an abundance of finances, and some struggle all the time. Of course, there are many factors that may predispose a church to greater financial resources such as location, size, and demographics of the congregation. If everything was equal in those respects, there are still things that one church could do that would provide different results from another. Here are three.
