Becoming What God Intended Devotional

In this message, David Eckman discuss how financial support of the church is a spiritual sacrifice to God.

There are five activities that are described as spiritual sacrifices or activities of New Testament priests in the Bible. Paul mentioned one of those sacrifices.

¹⁸ But I have received everything in full, and have an abundance; I am amply supplied, having received from Epaphroditus what you have sent, a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.

 ¹⁹ And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. (Phil 4:18-19)

Paul informed the Philippian church that their financial support of him was a spiritual sacrifice which was a fragrant aroma to God. So to our growing list of what is a spiritual sacrifice, we can add supporting the ministry. We have seen that using a spiritual gift is a spiritual sacrifice now we see that supporting the pastors, evangelists, missionaries, and church workers are also a spiritual sacrifice. So that when a collection is taken the church the money gives is actually viewed as a sacrifice by the congregation to God.
