November 15, 2026 Welcome to Trinity!
Basic Theme: God freely places resources into our open hands so we can freely release them for His work. The more God pours into us, the more we are able— and glad— to pour out. Greater blessing creates greater capacity and desire to give. Yet open hands only last when they flow from open hearts. Generosity begins in the heart before it ever reaches the hand. At Trinity, we celebrate how God’ s provision has already enabled faithful, wholehearted giving that has advanced our mission and strengthened this church. This series invites us to keep both hearts and hands open, so God’ s kingdom continues to grow through Trinity. Sermon Snapshot( Key Points): Open hands only stay open when the heart is open first. Giving is never merely a hand issue; it is a heart issue. The more God has poured into us, the more freely we can pour out— but only if gratitude and trust have softened our hearts. David’ s people gave wholeheartedly because they saw everything as coming from God. The same dynamic has marked Trinity’ s story: people whose hearts were moved opened their hands and made growth possible. This week we celebrate those past open hearts and hands, and we ask God to keep both ours open as He continues to pour into this church. So What? Does my current giving feel more like a hand transaction or a heart response? What has God already done through the open hearts and hands of people at Trinity that I can celebrate? What would it look like for both my heart and my hands to open a little wider in response to God’ s goodness? Do This! Pray and give thanks to God for the open hearts and hands of the people at Trinity Church. Ask God what he would have you give in 2027 to support the mission and ministry of Trinity Church.
Scripture: 1 Chron. 29:10-14; Eph. 3:20-21; Psalm 116:12-14( NIV)
10
David praised the Lord in the presence of the whole assembly, saying,“ Praise be to you, Lord, the God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. 11 Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all. 12 Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all. 13 Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name. 14“ But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

What shall I return to the Lord for all his goodness to me? 13 I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord. 14 I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people.
