GIVING
Jesus had a lot to say about money. Probably because he knew how much anxiety and fear it caused in people’s lives. Time and time again, he calls us to give up material things that have gripped our hearts as a means of aligning ourselves to God—often this means giving of our finances. As we give our money, we showcase our heart is not attached to our finances. This is powerful worship!
Be a part of “Glow-Up” this April to refresh The Mart and invest in a permanent home for the future.
Donations above and beyond your regular giving explicitly placed into the Glow-Up fund will be matched up to $20,000 throughout April. These will be used to glow up The Mart and save for the next permanent Oakhouse space.
At Oakhouse, we encourage all followers of Jesus to give with three principles in play.
-
First
Giving to another way of worship in which we get to declare that “God is worth it!” We give before we pay our bills, go out to dinner, etc. because it highlights our dependence and belief that God is our ultimate provider.

Sacrifically
Throughout the New Testament, Jesus offers a path to freedom: sacrifice. Our faith in God expands when our generosity stretches our comfort zone. When we give sacrificially, God gets to be our support over and above our bank account. It’s sometimes hard, but it’s worth it!
