PREFACE SUMMARY

Tithing is the act of giving a tenth of your income or assets to support the work of the church. It is mentioned in the Old Testament and the New Testament as well, and it is considered a form of worship and obedience to God. Throughout this message, you will discover the power of tithing as described in the New Testament Church. You will discover how you can unleash the blessings of giving and experience the joy of being a part of a greater cause, and learn how your contribution can make a significant impact on the lives of others.

Beloved, if you're curious about the relevance of tithing in today's church, let me tell you that throughout this message I believe you will find that it is still a prevalent practice supported by the Bible, and despite some debates concerning its interpretation and application, tithing remains a vital aspect of many Christian denominations and churches worldwide.

Tithing serves as a way to support the church's ministries, the poor, and those in need. Tithing not only helps the church but also benefits the giver, as it cultivates a spirit of generosity and gratitude. I believe if you will study this message with a prayerful heart and an open mind, you will like me and many others come to the conclusion of the fact that it is still relevant today, and is a duty and responsibility that we must uphold without fail.

Some would argue that since the Old Testament law has been fulfilled in Jesus, tithing is no longer necessary. Others believe tithing is still a valid way to honor God and support the church's work. Our ultimate goal as Christians should be to have a deep and meaningful relationship with God; one that would move us to weep for our sins and seek forgiveness. When we are in a close relationship with God, our giving becomes an act of worship. We give not because we feel obligated, but because we want to show our love and gratitude for all that He has done for us.

Some ministers perpetuate a false belief that tithing is not required in the New Testament Church. This has led to a lack of understanding and support for giving back to God and supporting His ministry. It is a sad reality that many churches today struggle to pay their loans and even face foreclosure due to a lack of financial support, and the root cause of this issue is often the failure of churchgoers to tithe, which is a biblical principle of giving a tenth of one's income to support God's work.

Beloved, we need to have a holy reverence for God and recognize that our giving is a way of honoring Him and supporting His ministry. Remember that God went to great lengths to rescue and purchase us as His prized possession with His life's blood. As His children, we are responsible for honoring Him through our giving and supporting His work so His ministry can continue to change lives for eternity.

As a Christian, it can be disheartening to witness some individuals who claim to be followers of Christ living luxurious lifestyles while neglecting to give back to God. It is important to recognize that our giving is not just a financial transaction; it is a way of honoring God and supporting His ministry. By giving generously, we show our deep respect for God and our commitment to His work.

When we contribute to God's ministry, we join Him in His efforts to make a difference by investing in His work with our time and our money to bring His message of love and hope to those who need it most. Our gifts reflect our faith and trust in God's plan, and He rewards us abundantly for our generosity.

In conclusion, by supporting God's ministry, we demonstrate our commitment to His mission and our desire to impact the world around us positively. We are fulfilling our role as ambassadors of His love and grace and helping to bring about His kingdom on earth.
