November 8, 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):
Everything in our hands first came from God’ s hand. He gives— freely, abundantly, and purposefully. When we forget the Giver, our hands tighten and our hearts grow anxious. When we remember, both hands and hearts stay open. God does not give sparingly; He pours out so that we can participate in what He is doing. At Trinity we can already point to years of God’ s provision that have fueled real ministry and growth. This week we celebrate that history and retrain our perspective: every resource is a gift placed in our hands by a generous God who invites our wholehearted response.
So What?
Where have I been treating what is in my hands as something I produced rather than something God gave? How does remembering“ God gives” begin to change both my grip and my heart attitude? What specific ways has God already given to Trinity that we can name and celebrate together?
Do This!
Pray about Trinity Church’ s budget and ask God to provide more than we could ask or imagine.
Scripture: 1 Chron. 29:10-14; Eph. 3:20-21; Deut. 8:17-18( 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.
20
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.
17
You may say to yourself,“ My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.”
18
But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.
