What does the Bible say about supporting the ministry?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible emphasizes the importance of supporting the ministry through various means, highlighting the value of both the messenger and those who support them.

Scripture encourages believers to support those who preach the gospel. In 1 Timothy 5:17-18, it states that 'the elders who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double honor, especially those whose work is preaching and teaching.' This indicates that providing material support is an essential aspect of the church’s life and mission. Furthermore, understanding that those who support the ministry play a critical role in the body of Christ reinforces the idea of partnership in the gospel, as seen in Phil. 1:5.
