D.I.G. It Moment Notes

Just Don’t Fill the Church; Build the Church! 

When I fill the church, I watch things happen.

When I build the church, I help things happen. 

Giving Groups



  • Extraordinary Givers
  • Tithers
  • Stable Givers
  • Periodic Givers
  • No Givers  

Not deeper pockets but different pockets.

Not simply the big gifts of the few but the small consistent gifts of the many.



Making Membership Matter


John 1:35-41 NIV

35 The next day John was there again with two of his disciples.

36 When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, "Look, the Lamb of God!"

37 When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.

38 Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, "What do you want?" They said, "Rabbi" (which means Teacher), "where are you staying?"

39 "Come," he replied, "and you will see." So they went and saw where he was staying, and spent that day with him. It was about the tenth hour.

40 Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus.

41 The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, "We have found the Messiah" (that is, the Christ).


The greatest problem we face in the church today is the problem of meaningless membership.
