    These two are pleasing sacrifices to God. The fruit of the lips, the fruit of the hands. Both are outward expressions of the inner heart. The words of the lips and the deeds of the hands have come from the bottom. Your inner heart is expressed through your outer face.

    Explore the biblical teachings on tithing and giving, emphasizing the joy and blessings that come from a willing and generous heart.

    Good morning, church family. Today, we're going to dive into a topic that sometimes makes us squirm in our seats a little - tithing and giving.

    We cannot give thanks FOR all circumstances but we can IN all circumstances. God has a purpose in every storm, shipwreck, tragedy, disease, or whatever that comes upon His children. Giving thanks to God is meant for our good; it enriches our life.

    Paul was a man who suffered a great deal of pain and yet wrote, "Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus." (I Thess 5: 16-18). For Paul to give us such an advice is amazing. • It shows that a Christian can give thanks ...read more

    Giving is one of those subjects that pastors either ignore or really focus on. For us at Calvary Chapel, we teach through the Scriptures so when a chapter comes along on any particular subject then we teach it.

    It is important for us not just to give to the Lord, but to give with the right motives. Jesus rebukes those who gave with the wrong motives, so we need to carefully consider our motives and how our motives align with God’s purposes and glorify God.

    What motivates people to give? You could read about results of research on this topic about what part of giving is motivated by self interest and what part is motivated by serving others. Our interest here is not the human psychology side of giving motivation, but the biblical motivation. What do ...read more
