DAYSTART
FOCUS
A GIVING RESPONSE
Giving is, above all, a response to God’s goodness—an act of gratitude, obedience, worship, and sometimes sacrifice. While money is necessary to get things done, many have adopted distorted views shaped by voices outside the Kingdom. But the Bible—not culture—is our authority. Those aligned with Christ’s mission know that giving isn’t just practical; it’s personal, purposeful, and eternal. It clearly shows our hearts are with God and His work in the earth. A giving response will be our focus this week during DayStart.

Luke 7:37-38 And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil, 38 and stood at His feet behind Him weeping; and she began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil.

Luke 8:1-3
Now it came to pass, afterward, that He went through every city and village, preaching and bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with Him, 2 and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities—Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons, 3 and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others who provided for Him from their substance.

2 Corinthians 8:3-7 For I bear witness that according to their ability, yes, and beyond their ability, they were freely willing, 4 imploring us with much urgency that we would receive the gift and the fellowship of the ministering to the saints. 5 And not only as we had hoped, but they first gave themselves to the Lord, and then to us by the will of God. 6 So we urged Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also complete this grace in you as well. 7 But as you abound in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all diligence, and in your love for us—see that you abound in this grace also.
