Hope can be inspiration for giving money to the church. Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” I’ll be honest with you. I hope that members of New Hope will give money to what they hope to see God do in our church.
Fleda and I are giving 10% of our income to New Hope because
• We hope to see parents bring children to church so that they grow up in church and love it. • We hope to see people who are distant from God come to know and love God as we know God in Jesus.
• We hope to see people become students of Jesus and grow spiritually and emotionally as they read and understand the Bible.
• We hope to see New Hope Baptist Church become stronger and continue to be a growing, loving church family long after we are gone.
We hope for some more visible things like new buildings, too, but what happens in people’s relationship to God is most important.
