Tithing

did Heaven and Hell:
Combined
As a matter of fact He talked about
money more than anything else except
the Kingdom of God.
11 of 39 parables talk about money.
1 of every 7 verses in the Gospel of Luke
talks about money.
Tithing

  –What you commit to the the Lord.
  –The first fruits

Giving:
  –Any donation that is above and beyond
   your tithing
Tithing
• Merriam Webster's Dictionary:
  – “a tenth”
  – noun or a verb
  – Up until the 1700’s it was mandatory
  – Still Mandatory in the Mormon Church
  – Germany it is still part of income tax
Tithing
Lev 27:30 “One-tenth of what comes from
the land, whether grain or fruit, is holy and
belongs to the LORD.

Psalms 24:1 says "1 The earth and
everything it contains are the LORD’s. The
world and all who live in it are his.
2 Corinthians 8:1-12
1 Brothers and sisters, we want you to know how

God showed his grace to the churches in the
province of Macedonia. 2 While they were being
severely tested by suffering, their overflowing
joy, along with their extreme poverty, has made
them even more generous. 3 I assure you that by
their own free will they have given all they
could, even more than they could afford. 4 They
made an appeal to us, begging us to let them
participate in the ministry of God’s grace to his
holy people in Jerusalem.
• 5 They did more than we had expected.
  First, they gave themselves to the Lord and to
  us, since this was God’s will. 6 This led us to
  urge Titus to finish his work of God’s grace
  among you in the same way as he had already
  started it. 7 Indeed, the more your faith, your
  ability to speak, your knowledge, your
  dedication, and your love for us increase, the
  more we want you to participate in this work
  of God’s grace. 8 I’m not commanding you, but
  I’m testing how genuine your love is by
  pointing out the dedication of others.
9 You know about the grace of our Lord Jesus
Christ. He was rich, yet for your sake he became
poor in order to make you rich through his
poverty. 10 I’m giving you my opinion because it
will be helpful to you. Last year you were not
only willing to take a collection but had already
started to do it. 11 So finish what you began to
do. Then your willingness will be matched by
what you accomplish 12 with whatever
contributions you have. Since you are willing to
do this, remember that people are accepted if
they give what they are able to give. God
doesn’t ask for what they don’t have.
Tithing
•   Tithing is about mission not mindset.

    circumstances.
