GIVE

Tithing is our foundation of giving.

Giving is something we do because we are showing God where our heart is. We do NOT do it because the church needs or doesn’t need our money or because we believe it makes us good people. Instead we are showing God we trust Him with one of the most difficult things for most of us to trust Him with and that’s our finances.

This isn’t something we came up with to scare/guilt people into giving.

According to Malachi 3:8, it says we are robbing God when we withhold our tithe.

Tithing is also an act of obedience to God. By us being faithful and obedient in our giving, we are able to pay for a place to worship together each week and to help the needy and reach the lost. Without it, we simply would not be able to impact as many people as we are for Christ. When we tithe, we grow deeper in our relationship with God and we realize we can trust Him we with everything, even our finances.

What is the difference between the tithe and the offering?

The tithe is the first 10% of your income. The offering is anything over and above that 10%. It is important that you understand the difference.
