The Bible is Relevant

Over 40 authors wrote the bible over the span of more than 1500 years on three continents. Yet, it all tells the same story and never conflicts with itself. In almost any situation you have faced there's a a story in the Bible

Jesus is Real

Jesus is way more than just a nice guy from history. He is God's Son and He loves you tremendously. He really died, He really rose from the dead, and He really is alive today. And furthermore, He can really change your life for the better. 

Theology of Stewardship

1. He owns it, I manage it

Contrary to the common perception of ownership, the Bible reveals a foundational truth: God is the ultimate owner of all things. As Psalm 24:1 declares, 'The earth and everything on it belong to the Lord.' This means that everything we possess—our homes, our resources, our very lives—are gifts entrusted to us by God. We are not owners, but stewards, managers of His creation. As James 1:17 reminds us, 'Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights.' Some things we manage for a lifetime, others for a season, but all are held in trust. This understanding shifts our perspective from possessiveness to responsible stewardship, acknowledging that all we have comes from God and is to be used for His purposes.

2. Before we were sinners, we were stewards

Even before the fall, humanity's purpose was stewardship. As Genesis 2:15 states, God placed Adam in the garden 'to work it and take care of it.' This foundational truth reveals that stewardship is not a consequence of sin, but our original calling. Recognizing this shifts our perspective from ownership to management, freeing us to obey God's will. Just as a good manager serves the owner's interests, we are to manage God's resources according to His desires. Understanding our role as stewards empowers us to live generously and faithfully, releasing the burden of possessiveness and embracing the joy of serving the One who owns it all.

3. Giving leads my heart.

Jesus teaches in Matthew 6:21, 'For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.' This powerful truth reveals that giving is not merely a response to our heart's desires, but a means of directing them. Unlike the world's approach, which emphasizes giving based on emotional prompting, God's way is to give intentionally, placing our treasure where we desire our heart to be. By giving to God through the church, we actively align our hearts with His purposes. Giving is a deliberate act of stewardship that leads our hearts closer to God, demonstrating that our commitment follows our investment."

Generosity Chart

4. 90>100

Malachi 3:10 invites us to 'bring the whole tithe into the storehouse,' promising that God will 'pour out so much blessing' in return. Tithing, giving a tenth of our income through the church, is a unique area where God encourages us to 'test Him.' This principle reveals that 90% of our income, blessed by God, is greater than 100% without His blessing. It's a truth that challenges our understanding of financial security. Consistent and committed tithing demonstrates faith and opens the door to experiencing God's abundant provision, proving that His blessings far exceed any perceived loss.

5. Give First Because It Doesn't Last

Proverbs 3:9-10 instructs us to 'honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops.' This means giving to God before anything else, demonstrating trust and acknowledging His provision. Giving first, not last, honors God and recognizes that without Him, our resources are fleeting. God promises blessings when we prioritize Him, ensuring that the remaining 90% goes further than 100% without His touch. This principle requires faith, trusting that God's ways, though sometimes beyond our understanding, are always faithful.

6. Sacrificial Giving Imitates God

John 3:16 reveals God's ultimate act of sacrificial giving: 'God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son.' This profound act demonstrates that true giving imitates God's heart, moving beyond obligation to sacrifice. While tithing fulfills a biblical mandate, sacrificial giving, exceeding the tithe, reflects God's love and addresses the world's needs. By giving sacrificially, we release money's grip on our hearts and embrace our role as stewards, mirroring God's generosity and providing for those whose needs are greater than our own.

7. What Measure Do I Want God to Use?

Luke 6:38 challenges us: 'For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.' This verse prompts us to consider the extent of our generosity, as it directly impacts God's return. Jesus promises a 'good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over,' indicating abundant blessing. By giving generously, beyond the tithe, we invite God to reciprocate with overflowing provision. This principle encourages us to trust God's promise and reflect His generosity, knowing that our measure of giving determines the measure of His blessing in our lives.

8. Giving Generously Reaches Farther Than I Can See

Corinthians 9:6-7 reminds us that 'whoever sows generously will also reap generously,' and 'God loves a cheerful giver.' This principle extends beyond regular tithing, emphasizing the impact of sacrificial giving. The story of our church's founding illustrates this: generous contributions, beyond regular tithes, enabled us to launch and expand, reaching far beyond our initial vision. These acts of faith, sowing into God's kingdom, yielded an abundant harvest we couldn't foresee. Similarly, our present generosity lays the foundation for future impact, demonstrating that cheerful, sacrificial giving extends beyond our immediate sight, creating an eternal legacy.

Giving FAQs


Parkway fellowship undergoes an annual independent audit.
The word “tithe” means one tenth. So when you tithe, you bring one tenth or 10% of your earnings to what Malachi 3:10 calls the "storehouse," which was the Temple...and the modern day equivalent is the church. Tithing is the starting point of giving, because it is what He instructs each of us to give. An "offering" is a gift given above the 10% you return to the Lord as your tithe.
We recognize that Jesus talked more about giving than He did on any other subject. Matthew 6:21 says, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Together, we work as a church to reach the lost. Malachi 3:10 says, “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enoughto store it.” The storehouse today is the local church you are attending. By partnering our monies together, God’s work is done more effectively. We can accomplish more together than separate.
