In Matthew 25, Jesus laid out a principle of directly giving to Jesus by helping people in need directly. We at THE FELLOWSHIP adopted his teaching from Matthew 25 to encourage the disciples to practice radical generosity by giving directly to those in need around us. We do not believe that all the monetary offerings of Christians should be given to the church. We also don’t think our generosity should be given a percentage, as in the case of tithing. There is no obligation of financial giving but only a plea to live a generous life of obedience. THE FELLOWSHIP encourages the disciples to give to God by living the life of generosity.

Matthew 25:34-40

“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ 37Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’”
