    In this sermon I do not expect to hear a lot of Amen but it is my prayer that God might receive a lot of good results from the preaching of HIS Word. Today I will be preaching on WHY EVERY CHRISTIAN SHOULD TITHE.

    I preach on tithing at least once a year for several reasons. (1) Because I am a Bible preacher. This is what God has called me to do…PREACH HIS WORD. But I preach on tithing for another reason because I want (2) I want the blessings of God on your life not God’s curse. Many of us if not all ...read more

    Guilt is a terrible motivator, because it works from the outside in. But grace works from the inside out. If you want to increase giving in your church, don't preach about tithing. Preach the gospel.
