Welcome to the podcast episode "Building Something God's Way" based on Exodus 35:1-36:1. In this episode, we will explore the process of fundraising and construction when it comes to building a place of worship. We will examine how God instructed Moses to raise funds for the construction of the Tabernacle and the importance of willing and cheerful giving.
Episode Notes:
- Introduction:
Fundraising is an essential part of building projects in churches. The question arises: How would the Lord raise funds to build a building? Exodus 35 provides insights into how God raised money for the Tabernacle.
God commands the people not to work on the Sabbath, including building His house. Rest and observance of the Sabbath are essential even during the construction process. The people are instructed to give willingly and with a willing heart. Tithing is not mentioned; the emphasis is on voluntary and joyful giving.
Moses gathers the congregation and instructs them to bring offerings for the Tabernacle. Various materials such as gold, silver, bronze, fabrics, skins, and wood are requested. Men and women, those with skills and artisans, all contribute willingly and generously. The emphasis is on free-will offerings and contributions from the heart.
The Spirit of Giving is discussed The New Testament emphasizes giving with a willing heart and purpose. Generosity, cheerfulness, and willingness are valued over obligatory tithing. The importance of both material and non-material contributions is highlighted.
Conclusion.
Whether giving money, time, or talent, a willing and cheerful attitude is most pleasing to God.
We hope this episode encourages you to embrace a willing and cheerful spirit in your giving and understand the importance of contributing to the work of the Lord in all aspects. Remember, God loves a cheerful giver.
