WHAT IS THE TITHE? "Tithe" means 10% or "a tenth part". God's Word tells us that the first 10% of everything we earn or receive belongs to HIm. The only way God's work will be done in the earth is if God's people give of their finances.

​

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TITHE& OFFERING?

The tithe is to be the first 10% of everything you receive financially. An offering is any amount you would give above the tithe

​

​

 

NINE REASONS WHY WE SHOULD TITHE

​

1) GOD COMMANDS IT - Malachi 3:10, God says "bring the whole tithe into the store house."  The storehouse refers to the place where you worship.  The tithe belongs to your local church

​

2) TITHING PROVES GOD'S WORD IS TRUE- God says, if you will put Him to the test in tithes and offerings, eventually you will see great blessings overtake your life.

​

3) GOD WILL REBUKE THE DEVOURER -  According to Malachi 3:11 God will rebuke the enemy.  You need God's help if you are going to make it in today's tough times. 

​

4) TITHING TEACHES ME TO PUT GOD FIRST - According to  Deuteronomy 14:23, the purpose of tithing is to teach you to always put God first in your life.  If God has our finances we He has our hearts.

​

5) JESUS RECOGNIZED TITHING - In Matthew 23:23, Jesus recognized or commended the Pharisees for tithing. Tithing was the only thing they were doing right.

​

6) TITHING IS ESSENTIAL TO SPIRITUAL GROWTH - Luke 16:11, "If you have not been faithful in the use of money, how can you expect him to entrust greater riches?" We grow in all other areas when we tithe.

​

7) TITHING PROVES YOU LOVE GOD - in Second Corinthians 8:8, God says that your giving tests the sincerity of your love.

​

​

8) TITHING IS AN INVESTMENT FOR ETERNITY -In Matthew 6:19, Jesus told us to "store up treasure in heaven."  When you give your tithes and offerings to the Lord's work, you are investing in souls.

​

9) YOU CAN'T "OUT-GIVE" GOD - Whatever you give to Him, He will give back to you!  Giving unlocks heaven's gates on your behalf. You can't out give God!
