First Fruits Giving

 

Peace Lutheran Church is making available a more convenient  way to give your "first fruits" through our new automated withdrawal system.

First-fruits giving is an attitude and act of faith. It reflects our habit of responding gratefully to God before meeting all of our other obligations in life.

Quite simply, it means giving to God first, from the top of our blessings, not the bottom. It is the opposite of casual giving that is drawn from what we have left over, after first taking care of ourselves.

In ancient times when people lived off the land, first-fruits giving called on everyone to give the first and best of their harvest to God. You’ll find this stewardship principle in the Bible.(Deuteronomy 26:1-2)
